Commentary Highlights
June 30, 2025- Markets: Tariffs dominated much of the news cycle during 2025’s second quarter, which began with US President Donald Trump denoting April 2 as “Liberation Day” and announcing wide-ranging tariff measures. Negotiations around final tariff levels for a number of countries were still taking place by the end of the quarter. The US dollar (USD) continued to weaken during the period. Actual inflation outcomes have largely been benign, but there has been some halt in progress, and higher inflation expectations (related to tariffs) engender caution about future paths. Global monetary policy remains in an easing cycle, though officials have voiced concern about the effects of tariffs on growth and inflation. The US Federal Reserve kept the federal funds target rate unchanged at 4.25%–4.50% during the quarter. Geopolitical conflicts flared up again during the period, including a brief conflict between India and Pakistan and a slightly longer one between Israel and Iran, though there has been no lasting impact on financial and commodity markets.
- Contributors: Currency positions contributed to absolute fund performance for the quarter, as did interest-rate strategies and overall credit exposures.
- Detractors: The fund’s net-negative position in the euro detracted from absolute results.
- Outlook: We continue to closely monitor the evolution of tariffs and their potential impacts on US and global growth, inflation and monetary policy across countries.

Performance
Average Annual Total Returns
As of 10/31/2025
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Distribution Rate & Breakpoints
Distribution Rate
Final composition of the current year’s distribution—income, capital gains and/or return of capital—are based on US tax rules and will be determined by February of the following year. For tax characterization of a distribution, such as return of capital and tax-exempt income, click on the “Tax Information” tab above.
Distributions Per Share Distribution amounts may be estimates
Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.
The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.
Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond's issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond's value. The portfolio is, or could become, non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the performance and result in greater fluctuation in value. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
