The Fund's Board of Trustees approved changes to the Fund's 80% investment policy on June 23, 2026, effective August 28, 2026. The revised policy lets the Fund count income-producing investments, including certain derivatives and dividend-paying equities, toward its 80% test, and allows non-corporate issuers. The filing discloses the change through a prospectus and SAI supplement and does not report any financial results.
Board of Trustees approved the change on June 23, 2026; effective date is August 28, 2026.

The Fund may not change this 80% Policy without at least 60 days' written notice to shareholders.
On August 15, 2024, the Fund's Board removed a non-fundamental guideline to invest at least 25% of total assets in corporate debt and other corporate income-producing securities.
