<div style="margin-top:9.29pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">To pursue its goal, the fund generally invests in securities that are included in the Bloomberg US 1-5 Year Corporate Bond Index</span><span style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;letter-spacing:-0.128pt;">†</span><span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The index measures the performance of U.S. investment grade, taxable corporate bonds with maturities greater than or equal to one year and less than five years that have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. The securities in the index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate. The index includes securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers. The index excludes certain types of securities, including contingent capital securities, inflation-linked bonds, floating-rate issues, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities, and structured notes. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 2,497 securities in the index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">It is the fund’s policy that under normal circumstances it will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities included in the index.

The principal types of these investments include those that the investment adviser believes will help the fund track the index, such as investments in (a) securities that are not represented in the index but the investment adviser anticipates will be added to the index; (b) high-quality liquid investments, such as securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including obligations that are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, and obligations that are issued by private issuers; (c) other investment companies; and (d) derivatives, principally futures contracts. The fund may use futures contracts and other derivatives primarily to help manage interest rate exposure. The fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, and lend its securities to minimize the difference in performance that naturally exists between an index fund and its corresponding index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Because it may not be possible or practical to purchase all of the securities in the index, the fund’s investment adviser will seek to track the total return of the index by using sampling techniques.

The fund expects that its portfolio will hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the fund’s investment objective. The fund may sell securities that are represented in the index in anticipation of their removal from the index. The fund generally expects that its maturity will be similar to that of the index.

However, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with the index. A number of factors may affect the fund’s ability to achieve a high correlation with its index, including the degree to which the fund uses a sampling technique (or otherwise gives a different weighting to a security than the index does). The correlation between the performance of the fund and its index may also diverge due to transaction costs, asset valuations, timing variances, and differences between the fund’s portfolio and the index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the fund but not to the index.</span> </div>

<rr:RiskHeading contextRef="c1"> Principal Risks </rr:RiskHeading>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c3"> The fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. </rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c4">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Market Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics, may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c5">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Investment Style Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund is an index fund. Therefore, the fund follows the securities included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for the fund.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c6">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Interest Rate Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a rise in interest rates generally causes the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s portfolio duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of fixed-income securities in which the fund invests. A sudden or unpredictable rise in interest rates may cause volatility and the value of fixed-income securities to decline.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c7">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Credit Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c8">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Sampling Index Tracking Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because the fund utilizes a sampling approach it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in the index.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c9">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Tracking Error Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of the index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of the fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c10">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Non-U.S. Issuer Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may invest in U.S.-registered, dollar-denominated bonds of non-U.S. corporations. The fund’s investments in bonds of non-U.S. issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with bonds issued by non-U.S. corporations and entities in emerging markets.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c11">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Derivatives Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase its volatility and cause the fund to lose more than the initial </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c12">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Liquidity Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.</span>

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Securities Lending Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.</span>

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Concentration Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.</span>

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Market Trading Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained.

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of the fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or market disruption.</span>

The securities in the index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate. The index includes securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers. The index excludes certain types of securities, including contingent capital securities, inflation-linked bonds, floating-rate bonds, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities, and structured notes. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 2,065 securities in the index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">It is the fund’s policy that under normal circumstances it will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities included in the index.

The principal types of these investments include those that the investment adviser believes will help the fund track the index, such as investments in (a) securities that are not represented in the index but the investment adviser anticipates will be added to the index; (b) high-quality liquid investments, such as securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including obligations that are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, and obligations that are issued by private issuers; (c) other investment companies; and (d) derivatives, principally futures contracts. The fund may use futures contracts and other derivatives primarily to help manage interest rate exposure. The fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, and lend its securities to minimize the difference in performance that naturally exists between an index fund and its corresponding index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Because it may not be possible or practical to purchase all of the securities in the index, the fund’s investment adviser will seek to track the total return of the index by using sampling techniques.

The fund may sell securities that are represented in the index in anticipation of their removal from the index. The fund generally expects that its maturity will be similar to that of the index.

However, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with the index. A number of factors may affect the fund’s ability to achieve a high correlation with its index, including the degree to which the fund uses a sampling technique (or otherwise gives a different weighting to a security than the index does). The correlation between the performance of the fund and its index may also diverge due to transaction costs, asset valuations, timing variances, and differences between the fund’s portfolio and the index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the fund but not to the index.</span> </div>

<div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:12pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 53% of the average value of its portfolio.</span> </div>

<div style="margin-top:9.29pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">To pursue its goal, the fund generally invests in securities that are included in the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index</span><span style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;letter-spacing:-0.128pt;">†</span><span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The index is a broad-based benchmark measuring the performance of the U.S. investment grade, taxable bond market, including U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities that are publicly available for sale in the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, securities must be fixed-rate, non-convertible, U.S. dollar denominated with at least $300 million or more of outstanding face value and have one or more years remaining to maturity. The index excludes certain types of securities, including tax-exempt state and local government series bonds, structured notes embedded with swaps or other special features, private placements, floating-rate securities, inflation-linked bonds and Eurobonds. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 13,184 securities in the index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">It is the fund’s policy that under normal circumstances it will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities included in the index, including TBA transactions, as defined below. The fund will notify its shareholders at least 60 days before changing this policy.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Under normal circumstances, the fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities not included in its index. The principal types of these investments include those that the investment adviser believes will help the fund track the index, such as investments in (a) securities that are not represented in the index but the investment adviser anticipates will be added to the index; (b) high-quality liquid investments, such as securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including obligations that are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, and obligations that are issued by private issuers; (c) other investment companies; and (d) derivatives, principally futures contracts. The fund may use futures contracts and other derivatives primarily to help manage interest rate exposure. The fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, and lend its securities to minimize the difference in performance that naturally exists between an index fund and its corresponding index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Because it is not possible or practical to purchase all of the securities in the index, the fund’s investment adviser will seek to track the total return of the index by using sampling techniques. </span> </div> <div style=" float:left; line-height:10pt; margin-top:11.5pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-align:left; width:10pt;white-space:nowrap;font-size:8pt;"> <span style=" position:relative; bottom:3.25pt;font-size:6pt;letter-spacing:-0.102pt;">†</span> <br/> </div> <div style=" margin-top:11.5pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:10pt; text-align:left; margin-left:10pt;font-size:8pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.136pt;">Index ownership – Bloomberg</span><span style=" position:relative; bottom:3.25pt;font-size:6pt;letter-spacing:-0.102pt;">®</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.136pt;"> and Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index are service marks of Bloomberg Finance L.P. and its affiliates, including Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL), the administrator of the indices (collectively, Bloomberg).

These techniques are based on a variety of factors, including interest rate and yield curve risk, maturity exposures, industry, sector and issuer weights, credit quality, and other risk factors and characteristics. The fund expects that its portfolio will hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the fund’s investment objective. The fund may sell securities that are represented in the index in anticipation of their removal from the index. The fund generally expects that its weighted average duration will closely correspond to the weighted average duration of the index, which as of December 31, 2022, was 6.12 years.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">As of December 31, 2022, approximately 27.58% of the bonds represented in the index were U.S. fixed-rate agency mortgage pass-through securities. U.S. fixed-rate agency mortgage pass-through securities are securities issued by entities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) that are backed by pools of mortgages. Most transactions in fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities occur through standardized contracts for future delivery in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until a few days prior to settlement, and are often referred to as “to-be-announced transactions” or “TBA transactions.” In a TBA transaction, the buyer and seller agree upon general trade parameters such as agency, settlement date, par amount and price. The actual pools delivered generally are determined two days prior to settlement date; however, it is not anticipated that the fund will receive the pools, but will instead participate in rolling TBA transactions. The fund anticipates that it may enter into such contracts on a regular basis. This may result in a significantly higher portfolio turnover for the fund than a typical index fund. The fund, pending settlement of such contracts, will invest its assets in high-quality liquid short-term instruments, including Treasury securities and shares of money market mutual funds. The fund will assume its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of any money market fund that it may invest in, in addition to the fund’s own fees and expenses.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry, group of industries or sector to approximately the same extent that its index is so concentrated. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities), and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The investment adviser seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the fund’s performance and that of its index, before fees and expenses, of 95% or better. However, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with the index. A number of factors may affect the fund’s ability to achieve a high correlation with its index, including the degree to which the fund uses a sampling technique (or otherwise gives a different weighting to a security than the index does). The correlation between the performance of the fund and its index may also diverge due to </span> </div><div style="width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">transaction costs, asset valuations, timing variances, and differences between the fund’s portfolio and the index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the fund but not to the index.</span> </div>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c46">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Sampling Index Tracking Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because the fund utilizes a sampling approach it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in the index.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c47">

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c48">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Portfolio Turnover Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may engage in frequent trading of its portfolio securities in connection with its tracking of the index, primarily due to the fund rolling over its positions in TBAs as it tracks the portion of the index represented by mortgage-backed securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in increased transaction costs, which may lower the fund’s performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate can also result in an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the fund’s shareholders.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c49">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Prepayment and Extension Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected, especially during periods of falling or rising interest rates, respectively. Prepayments of obligations could cause the fund to forgo future interest income on the portion of the security’s principal repaid early and force the fund to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Extensions of obligations could cause the fund to exhibit additional volatility and hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest. Either case could hurt the fund’s performance.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c50">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Non-U.S. Issuer Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may invest in U.S.-registered, dollar-denominated bonds of non-U.S. corporations, governments, agencies and supra-national entities. The fund’s investments in bonds of non-U.S. issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with bonds issued by non-U.S. corporations and entities in emerging markets.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c51">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Derivatives Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase its volatility and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c52">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">similar or greater risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which the fund may invest are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities where it was not obligated to do so which can cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The risks of investing in mortgage-backed securities include, among others, interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities often occur through TBA transactions. The fund could lose money or underperform if a TBA counterparty defaults or goes bankrupt.</span>

This means that the fund generally expects that it will hold the same securities as those included in the index. However, the investment adviser may use sampling techniques if the investment adviser believes such use will best help the fund to track its index or is otherwise in the best interest of the fund. Sampling techniques involve investing in a limited number of index securities that, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. These techniques are based on a variety of factors, including interest rate and yield curve risk, maturity exposures, and other risk factors and characteristics. When the fund uses sampling techniques, the fund generally expects that its yield, maturity and weighted average duration will be similar to those of the index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The investment adviser seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the fund’s performance and that of its index, before fees and expenses, of 95% or better. However, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with the index. A number of factors may affect the fund’s ability to achieve a high correlation with its index, including the degree to which the fund utilizes a sampling technique (or otherwise gives a different weighting to a security than the index does). The correlation between the performance of the fund and its index may also diverge due to transaction costs, asset valuations, timing variances, and differences between the fund’s portfolio and the index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the fund but not to the index.</span> </div>

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Inflation-Protected Security Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The value of inflation-protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation-indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation.</span>

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Sampling Index Tracking Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> To the extent the fund uses sampling techniques, the fund will not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund will be subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. If the fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in the index.</span>

As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a rise in interest rates generally causes the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s portfolio duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Also, a change in a </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of fixed-income securities in which the fund invests.

The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.</span> </div>

<div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. From October 12, 2022 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2022, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% (not annualized) of the average value of its portfolio.</span> </div>

<div style="margin-top:9.46pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">To pursue its goal, the fund generally invests in securities that are included in the ICE AMT-Free Core U.S. National Municipal Index</span><span style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;letter-spacing:-0.128pt;">†</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">. The index measures the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade tax-exempt debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market by U.S. states and territories as well as their political subdivisions. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, securities must be exempt from federal taxes and must not be subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT). In addition, securities must have at least a one day remaining term to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule (including zero coupon bonds) and an investment grade rating (based on the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch). If rated by all three agencies, two of the three ratings must be Baa3/</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">BBB- or higher; if rated by two agencies, the lowest rating must be Baa3/BBB- or higher; and if rated by a single agency the security must be rated Baa3/BBB- or higher. Securities must have at least $25 million currently outstanding face value and must be part of a deal with an original offering size of at least $100 million. The index excludes certain types of securities, including, among others, step coupon securities, taxable municipal securities, floating rate notes and variable rate demand obligations or notes and private placements. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 13,444 securities in the index.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">It is the fund’s policy that under normal circumstances it will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities the interest from which is exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax. This policy may be changed only by vote of a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting shares.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Under normal circumstances, the fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities not included in its index. The principal types of these investments include those that the investment adviser believes will help the fund track the index, such as investments in (a) securities that are not represented in the index but the investment adviser anticipates will be added to the index; (b) high-quality liquid investments, such as securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including obligations that are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, and obligations that are issued by private issuers; (c) other investment companies; and (d) derivatives, principally futures contracts. The fund may use futures contracts and other derivatives primarily to help manage interest rate exposure.

Sampling techniques involve investing in a limited number of index securities that, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. These techniques are based on a variety of factors, including interest rate and yield curve risk, maturity exposures, industry, sector and issuer weights, credit quality, and other risk factors and characteristics. The fund generally expects that its portfolio will hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the fund’s investment objective. The fund may sell securities that are represented in the index in anticipation of their removal from the index.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The fund may invest in fixed-rate securities from municipal issuers around the country and in U.S. territories and possessions. These may include general obligation issues, which typically are backed by the issuer’s ability to levy taxes, and revenue issues, which typically are backed by a stream of revenue from a given source, such as an electric utility or a public water system. The fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities financing similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, and may also invest in municipal notes. The fund’s securities may carry credit enhancements (such as bond insurance) or liquidity enhancements (such as a letter of credit), which are designed to provide incremental levels of creditworthiness or liquidity.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">The fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry, group of industries or sector to approximately the same extent that its index is so concentrated. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities), and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities are not considered to be issued by members of any industry. Similarly, tax-exempt obligations of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.</span> </div> <div style="margin-top:7.5pt; width:255.58pt; line-height:11.5pt;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">A number of factors may affect the fund’s ability to achieve a high correlation with its index, including the degree to which the fund uses a sampling technique (or otherwise gives a different weighting to a security than the index does). The correlation between the performance of the fund and its index may also diverge due to transaction costs, asset valuations, timing variances, and differences between the fund’s portfolio and the index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the fund but not to the index.</span> </div>

<rr:RiskHeading contextRef="c129"> Principal Risks </rr:RiskHeading>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c131"> The fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. </rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c132">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Market Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics, may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c133">

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c134">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Municipal Securities Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund primarily invests in municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuers’ counsel, is exempt from federal income tax and from the AMT. Neither the investment adviser nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with such counsel’s opinion. If certain types of investments the fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the fund’s income could be taxable. To the extent that the fund invests in municipal securities from a given state or geographic region, its share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. In addition, many municipal securities are issued to finance specific projects (especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities) and conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status or the reduction of financial support to municipalities, also could affect performance. Municipalities continue to experience difficulties in the current economic and political environment.</span>

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c136">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Credit Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.</span>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c139">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Portfolio Turnover Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund may engage in frequent trading of its portfolio securities in connection with its tracking of the index. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in increased transaction costs, which may lower the fund’s performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate can also result in an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the fund’s shareholders.</span>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c140">

</rr:RiskTextBlock>

<rr:RiskTextBlock contextRef="c141">

<span style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.17pt;">Derivatives Risk.</span><span style="letter-spacing:-0.17pt;"> The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase its volatility and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.</span>
