What a difference a year can make!
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The fund invests in smaller companies, which involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involves greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The fund may also make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested.
Shareholders should refer to the summary prospectus dated July 29, 2020, as supplemented, September 8, 2020, for specific details related to the reduction of fees.
