Supplement dated March 18, 2020 to the current Prospectus, as may be supplemented (the Prospectus)

Effective immediately, the following disclosure is added to, or replaces similar disclosure in, Economic and market events risk.

A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect fund performance. For example, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. The impact of a health crisis and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. Any such impact could adversely affect the fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus and retain it for your future reference.
