The following information replaces similar information found in the "Investment Details" section under the "Principal Investment Strategies" heading.
The floating rate loan category includes floating rate loans, many of which are lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), and other floating rate securities such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, and shares of money market and short-term bond funds. The inflation-protected debt category is a passively managed investment strategy attempting to track the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index. The index is composed of inflation-protected debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The Adviser may use statistical sampling techniques to attempt to replicate the returns of the index using a smaller number of securities. Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment characteristics of the index and the fund by taking into account such factors as duration, maturity, interest rate sensitivity, security structure, and credit quality. The commodity-linked derivative instruments and related investments category includes commodity-linked notes, other commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as commodity futures and swaps, and commodity-related equity securities that seek to provide investment returns that correspond to the performance of an index chosen by the Adviser to represent the commodities market, as well as short-term investment-grade debt securities. As of September 30, 2025, the Adviser was using the Bloomberg Commodity 3 Month Forward Total Return Index to represent the commodities market. The REIT and other real estate related investments category includes common and preferred stocks of REITs that either own properties or make construction or mortgage loans, mortgage securities, and other debt and equity securities of real estate developers, companies with substantial real estate holdings, and other companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry.
