The

effects

of

the

Covid-19

pandemic

also

are

likely

to

exacerbate

other

risks

that

apply

to

the

fund,

which

could

negatively

impact

the

fund’s

performance

and

lead

to

losses

on

your

investment

in

the

fund.

The

duration

of

the

Covid-19

pandemic

and

its

effects

cannot

be

determined

with

certainty.

#### •

#### ESG

#### considerations.
Although

ESG

considerations

do

not

represent

a

primary

focus

of

the

fund,

we

expect

to

integrate

environmental,

social,

or

governance

(“ESG”)

considerations

into

our

fundamental

research

process

and

investment

decision-making

for

the

fund,

where

we

consider

them

material

and

relevant,

and

where

data

is

available.

We

believe

that

ESG

considerations,

like

other,

more

traditional

subjects

of

investment

### analysis
such

as

credit,

interest

rate,

prepayment

and

### liquidity
risks,

as

well

as

general

market

conditions,

have

the

potential

to

impact

### financial
risk

and

investment

returns.

We

believe

that

ESG

considerations

are

best

analyzed

in

combination

with

traditional

fundamental

considerations,

including

a

company’s

industry,

geography,

and

strategic

position

or

the

fundamentals

of

a

securitized

product

and

its

underlying

assets.

With

respect

to

securitized

products,

we

may

evaluate

ESG

considerations

related

to

the

originator,

servicers

and

other

relevant

parties.

We

also

consider

ESG

factors

when

evaluating

sovereign

debt,

including

both

current

ESG

metrics

and

goals

and

progress

by

the

sovereign

issuer

with

respect

to

ESG

considerations.
