Commentary Highlights
12/31/2025- Markets: The fourth quarter of 2025 saw monthly shifts in market sentiment as uncertainties increased in the first part of the quarter. The US federal government went into a shutdown on October 1 as the US Senate was unable to pass a spending bill. This delayed or canceled the publication of key economic data leading to a lack of clarity on the economic condition of the United States. The shutdown was lifted mid-November, and subsequent data showed that economic growth in the United States remained resilient. The US Federal Reserve delivered three consecutive 25-basis point cuts in Q4, helping market sentiment improve in December. Global economies continued to reset themselves due to US tariffs, with many looking to spur domestic growth.

- Outlook: Although the Fed has signaled one more cut for 2026, we continue to believe that so long as growth remains resilient and the expansion continues in line with our expectations, the Fed will remain on pause at least through Powell’s term ending in May 2026, and potentially through 2026. That said, the Fed’s reaction function does lean dovish, and any signs of labor market weakness could force additional “risk-management” cuts under Powell or his successor.

Performance
Average Annual Total Returns
As of 12/31/2025
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.
The fund began offering Class R6 shares on 7/2/2012. Returns for periods prior to 7/2/2012 are based on the fund's Class Y performance, which has not been adjusted for the lower operating expenses; had it been adjusted, performance would be higher. For periods after the share class offering, performance for the specific share class is used, reflecting the applicable expenses and maximum sales charges.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. 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.
Important Information
Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers; without these reductions, the results would have been lower.
Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.
Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.
