Statutory Prospectus - Under "More About the Fund's Investment Managers and Principal Risks" in the "Fund Details" section: The last two paragraphs are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
Causeway Capital Management LLC (Causeway), in managing its segment of the fund's assets, invests primarily in equity securities of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. When investing assets, Causeway follows a value style, performing fundamental research supplemented by quantitative analysis. Beginning with a universe of all publicly listed companies throughout the non-U.S. developed and emerging markets, Causeway applies market capitalization and liquidity thresholds to reduce investment candidates to approximately 2,000 equity securities. Causeway uses quantitative valuation screens to further narrow the potential investment candidates. Causeway then performs fundamental research, which generally includes company-specific research, company visits, and interviews of suppliers, customers, competitors, industry analysts, and experts. Causeway also applies a proprietary quantitative risk model to adjust return forecasts based on risk assessments. This process results in risk-adjusted return forecasts for a closely followed group of potential
investment candidates. Using a value style means that Causeway buys stocks that it believes have lower prices than their true worth. For example, stocks may be "undervalued" because the issuing companies are in industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound.
Causeway considers the following value characteristics in making investment decisions for the fund: low price-to-earnings ratio relative to the sector, high yield relative to the market, low price-to-book value ratio relative to the market, low price-to-cash flow ratio relative to the market, and financial strength. The portfolio managers work as a team to make investment decisions and the portfolio managers also perform investment research in his or her assigned sectors and industries. The portfolio managers are supported by the firm's fundamental and quantitative research analysts and two traders.
4.
Statutory Prospectus - Under the "Fund Management" section: The fourth paragraph is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the fund's investment advisory agreement with the investment adviser and each sub-advisory agreement (except for the sub-advisory agreement with Causeway) is available in the fund's 2025 annual holdings and financial statements, which are included in the fund's Form N-CSR and covers the period of November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2025. A discussion regarding the basis for the approval of the sub-advisory agreement between the investment adviser and Causeway will be available in a future report.

Conflicts of Interest. The Causeway portfolio managers who manage a portion, or "Sleeve," of the fund also manage their own personal accounts and other accounts, including corporations, pension plans, public retirement plans, sovereign wealth funds, superannuation funds, Taft-Hartley pension plans, endowments and foundations, mutual funds and other collective investment vehicles, charities, private trusts and funds, wrap fee programs, and other institutions (collectively, "Other Accounts"). In managing the Other Accounts, the portfolio managers employ investment strategies similar to that used in managing the Sleeve, subject to certain variations in investment restrictions. The portfolio managers purchase and sell securities for the Sleeve that they also recommend to Other Accounts. The portfolio managers at times give advice or take action with respect to certain accounts that differs from the advice given other accounts with similar investment strategies. The Other Accounts pay higher management fee rates than the Sleeve or pay performance-based fees to Causeway. Causeway is the investment adviser and sponsor of a number of mutual funds: Causeway International Value Fund, Causeway Global Value Fund, Causeway Emerging Markets Fund, Causeway International Opportunities Fund, and Causeway International Small Cap Fund (together, the "Causeway Mutual Funds"). Causeway also sponsors and manages certain other commingled vehicles in its international value equity strategy that are offered to institutional investors. Most of the portfolio managers have personal investments in one or more of the Causeway Mutual Funds. Each of Ms. Ketterer and Mr. Hartford hold, through estate planning vehicles, a controlling voting stake in Causeway's parent holding company and Messrs. Eng, Muldoon, Valentini, Nguyen, Cho and Ms. Lee have minority interests in Causeway's parent holding company. Actual or potential conflicts of interest arise from the Sleeve's portfolio managers' management responsibilities with respect to the Other Accounts and their own personal accounts. These responsibilities may cause portfolio managers to devote unequal time and attention across client accounts and the differing fees, incentives and relationships with the various accounts provide incentives to favor certain accounts. Causeway has written compliance policies and procedures designed to mitigate or manage these conflicts of interest. These include policies and procedures to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities (including IPOs) and trade allocations among all client accounts and policies and procedures concerning the disclosure and use of portfolio transaction information. Causeway also has a Code of Ethics which, among other things, limits personal trading by portfolio managers and other employees of Causeway. There is no guarantee that any such policies or procedures will cover every situation in which a conflict of interest arises.
Compensation. Ms. Ketterer and Mr. Hartford, the chief executive officer and president of Causeway, respectively, receive annual salary and are entitled, as controlling owners of Causeway's parent holding company, to distributions of Causeway parent holding company's profits based on their ownership interests. They do not receive incentive compensation. Causeway's other portfolio managers receive salary and may receive incentive compensation (including potential cash, awards of growth units, or awards of equity units). Portfolio managers also receive, directly or through estate planning vehicles, distributions of profits based on their minority ownership interests in Causeway's parent holding company. Causeway's Compensation Committee, weighing a variety of objective and subjective factors, determines salary and incentive compensation and, subject to approval of Causeway's parent holding company Board of Managers, may award equity units. Portfolios are team-managed and salary and incentive compensation are not based on the specific performance of any single client account, but take into account the performance of the individual portfolio manager, the relevant team and Causeway's overall performance and financial results. For Fundamental portfolio managers, the performance of stocks selected for client portfolios within a particular industry or sector over a multi-year period relative to appropriate benchmarks will be relevant for portfolio managers assigned to that industry or sector. Causeway takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors when determining the amount of incentive compensation awarded, including the following factors: individual research contribution, portfolio and team management contribution, group research contribution, client service and recruiting contribution, and other contributions to client satisfaction and firm development. The assessment of these factors takes into account both current and future risks and different factors can be weighted differently.
Ownership of Fund Shares. As of October 31, 2025, the portfolio managers did not beneficially own any of the fund's shares.
