Performance results reflect ongoing charges and any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. All historic results assume distributions within the fund and/or the share class are reinvested.

Investors should consider the risks, including lower returns, related to currency movements between their investing currency and the portfolio's base currency, if different.
