As of July 28, 2025 · prospectus

Bonds include, but are not limited to, a variety of fixed and variable rate debt obligations, including government and corporate debt securities; money market instruments; and municipal securities. The Fund targets an estimated average portfolio duration of one (1) year or less. Duration is a measure of the expected price volatility of a debt instrument as a result of changes in market rates of interest, based on the weighted average timing of the instruments expected principal and interest payments and other factors. The Fund invests predominantly in U.S. dollar denominated, investment grade debt securities and investments. Investment grade debt securities are securities that are rated at the time of purchase in the top four ratings categories by one or more independent rating organizations such as S&P Global Ratings (S&P ) (rated BBB- or better) or Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) (rated Baa3 or higher) or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the Funds investment manager. The Funds focus on the credit quality of its portfolio is intended to reduce credit risk and help to preserve the Funds capital. The Fund is not a money market fund and does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund generally expects to invest a substantial portion of its assets in cash, cash equivalents and high quality money market securities, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by non-U.S. governments or their respective agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities, including emerging market securities. Although the Fund may invest across economic sectors, the Fund concentrates its investments in financials related industries. In choosing investments for the Fund, the investment manager selects securities in various market sectors based on its assessment of changing economic, market, industry and issuer conditions. The investment manager uses a top-down analysis of macroeconomic trends, combined with a bottom-up fundamental analysis of market sectors, industries and issuers, to try to take advantage of varying sector reactions to economic events. The investment manger may utilize quantitative models to evaluate investment opportunities as part of the portfolio construction process for the Fund. Quantitative models are proprietary systems that rely on mathematical computations to identify investment opportunities. The investment manager may consider selling a security when it believes the security has become fully valued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the issuers fundamentals, or when the investment manager believes another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.
