Total Returns With Sales Charge: returns reflect the deduction of the stated sales charge. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions, without which the results for those impacted funds would have been lower.

• For more information on any of our funds, contact your financial professional or download a prospectus. Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, sales charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
• All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Foreign securities involve special risks, including currency rate fluctuations (which may be significant over the short-term) and economic and political uncertainties; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Sovereign debt securities are subject to various risks in addition to those relating to debt securities and foreign securities generally, including, but not limited to, the risk that a government entity may be unwilling or unable to pay interest and repay principal on its sovereign debt, or otherwise meet its obligations when due. Derivatives, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in the portfolio that may result in significant volatility and cause the fund to participate in losses on an amount that exceeds the fund's initial investment. The fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits and may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as promised. Bonds are subject to liquidity risk, which may have an adverse impact on the security's value or a fund's ability to sell such securities. Changes in interest rates will affect the value of the fund's portfolio, share price and yield. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. As prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond's credit rating may affect its value. Investments in lower rated securities include higher risks of default and loss of principal. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
• Advisor Class, Class R, Class R6 and Class Z shares are only offered to certain eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. The fund offers multiple share classes, which are subject to different fees and expenses that will affect their performance. Please see the prospectus for details.
