\* As of February 28, 2026

*On the Effective Date, the section of the Fund's SAI entitled "Portfolio Managers – Compensation Structure – Bonus – Angermeier, Becker, Brown, Halverson, John, Kapoor, Klapmeyer, McQuade, Miller, Schorgl, Scott, Warden, Zinn" is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:*

***Bonus – Angermeier, Becker, J. Brown, N. Brown, Halverson, John, Kapoor, Klapmeyer, McQuade, Miller, Schorgl, Scott, Warden, Zinn.*** Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products the portfolio managers manage. A percentage of these revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant products and the investment management team) creates the "bonus pool" for the products. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributors generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the 1-, 3-, and 5-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Morningstar, Inc. peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three- and five-year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

***Because everyone's tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences before making an investment in a Fund or acting on a distribution check (if applicable).***

#### Please keep this Supplement for future reference.
