Where the net expense ratio is lower than the gross expense ratio, certain fees have been waived and/or expenses reimbursed. These waivers and/or reimbursements will continue for at least one year from the date of the applicable fund’s current prospectus (unless otherwise noted in the applicable prospectus) or until such time as the fund's Board of Directors acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements. Absent such waivers and/or reimbursements, returns would have been lower. Expenses are based on the fund's current prospectus. The minimum initial investment is $1,000,000 for Class I shares.

DEFINITIONS: Median market capitalization is the midpoint of market capitalization of the stocks in a portfolio. Half the stocks in the portfolio will have higher market capitalizations; half will have lower. Number of holdings provided are a typical range, not a maximum number. The portfolio may exceed this from time to time due to market conditions and outstanding trades.
INDEX INFORMATION: The MSCIAll Country World Index is an unmanaged free-float-adjusted market-capitalisation-weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. MSCI indexes are net of foreign withholding taxes. Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Historical performance of the index illustrates market trends and does not represent the past or future performance of the fund.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS The value of investments held by the Fund may increase or decrease in response to economic, and financial events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets. The value of equity securities is sensitive to stock market volatility. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, currency exchange rates or other conditions. In emerging countries, these risks may be more significant. Smaller companies are generally subject to greater price fluctuations, limited liquidity, higher transaction costs and higher investment risk than larger, more established companies. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments. Derivatives instruments can be highly volatile, result in leverage (which can increase both the risk and return potential of the Fund), and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying instrument on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty, correlation and liquidity risk. If a counterparty is unable to honor its commitments, the value of Fund shares may decline and/or the Fund could experience delays in the return of collateral or other assets held by the counterparty. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk when trading volume, lack of a market maker or trading partner, large position size, market conditions, or legal restrictions impair its ability to sell particular investments or to sell them at advantageous market prices. The impact of the coronavirus on global markets could last for an extended period and could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. No fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a fund. The Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks and you should review the Fund prospectus for a complete description.
MORNINGSTAR
Rankings: The percentile rankings are based on the average annual total returns for the periods stated and do not include any sales charges, but do include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and Rule 12b-1 fees. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1 and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100. The top-performing fund in a category will always receive a rank of 1.
Ratings: The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and openended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account sales loads.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: As used herein, beta is defined as a management style that focuses on market exposure in terms of asset classes, style, sector, geography, market capitalization, and other factors.
Diversification cannot ensure a profit or eliminate the risk of loss The Fund may obtain exposure to certain foreign currencies through derivatives and/or forward contracts. These exposures may seek to hedge currency exposures and/or seek total return. These exposures are not reflected in the characteristic information shown. The Fund may obtain exposure to certain market segments through investments in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and futures. For purposes of the asset breakdowns, allocations with respect to the Fund’s investments in ETFs and futures are based on the underlying portfolio composition of each ETF and future as of the calendar quarter end. Cash & Equivalents is calculated and presented net of any notional futures exposure.
Region is based on MSCI’s country/region membership methodology and, with respect to the Fund’s investments in ETFs, is based on the underlying portfolio composition of each ETF as of the calendar quarter-end. Size is based upon float-adjusted market caps and our own range definitions of Large Cap (greater than $20B), Mid Cap ($5B-$20B) and Small Cap (less than $5B), effective June 30, 2021. Prior to that, our range definitions were Large Cap (greater than $10B), Mid Cap ($2B-$10B) and Small Cap (less than $2B). Style is based upon S&P’s Global Broad Market Style Indexes. Sources: Bloomberg, Axioma Inc., Standard & Poor’s, MSCI. The S&P Global BMI Style Index uses three growth variables and four value variables to classify each stock in the universe as 100% growth, 100% value, or a mixture of both growth and value. This approach permits a stock to be classified, for example, as 60% growth and 40% value, for better securities classification and less index turnover by recognizing that companies may gradually move from one style to another over time.
