The fund's auditor, KPMG LLP, resigned on August 14, 2017 at the fund's request, and the board approved PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2017. The filing states that KPMG's reports on the fund's prior two years contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification, and that there were no disagreements or reportable events, so the change is administrative in nature.
