There is no assurance that such objective will be achieved. Please see the Company's Fund Documents as defined below for additional information.

2The Credit Quality allocation is based on the current ratings methodology of Bloomberg Global Family of Indices, which is as follows: If each of the Ratings Agencies (Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) assigns ratings to an instrument, the methodology will attribute the middle rating to the instrument after dropping the highest and lowest ratings. If only two Ratings Agencies assign ratings, the methodology will attribute the more conservative (lower) rating of the two. If only one Ratings Agency assigns a rating, the methodology will attribute that rating.
