Performance
SI = Since Inception. Fund Inception: 09/30/1998
SI = Since Inception. Predecessor Fund Inception: 9/30/98.
Prior to the close of business on 10/16/26, the Fund operated as an open-end mutual fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) with the same investment objective and principal investment strategy as the Predecessor Fund. Prior to 3/31/26, the Predecessor Fund pursued a modified principal investment strategy. The NAV returns prior to the Fund’s listing on the exchange on 10/19/26 include returns of the Predecessor Fund’s Class F-shares through 2/28/17 and, prior to that date, other classes of the Predecessor Fund through 9/30/98. The market-price returns began with the Fund’s listing on the exchange on 10/19/26. If the Predecessor Fund had been structured as an exchange-traded fund, the performance may have differed.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
