These contractual reductions will continue until at least date noted under the "Waiver End Date" column. F1 Included in all fund classes' total returns for the year ended December 31, 2017, are proceeds received from a non-recurring litigation settlement against Household International Inc. Had these proceeds not been included, all total returns within calendar year 2017 would have been lower by 0.89%. S1 Effective at the close of business on August 14, 2019, the fund will be closed to new investors subject to certain exceptions. Please see the prospectus for additional information. Performance data shown represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results.

For most recent month-end performance, please visit . Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers the fund's performance results would be less favorable. All results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Class A shares ("A") results include the maximum sales charge.

* Periods less than one year are actual not annualized. 4 Performance information prior to December 1, 2014, reflects time periods when the fund had (i) a policy of focusing its investments on debt instruments of U.S. and foreign governments and (ii) a policy permitting the fund to invest up to 100% of its assets in less than investment grade quality debt instruments (lower quality debt instruments). The fund's investment policies and strategies changed effective December 1, 2014. 5 Performance information prior to April 30, 2021, reflects time periods when the fund (i) had a policy of primarily investing in investment grade quality debt instruments and (ii) did not have a policy to engage in a currency hedging strategy to primarily expose the fund to the U.S. dollar. The fund's investment policies and strategies changed effective April 30, 2021. 6 Performance information prior to December 2, 2019 reflects time periods when the fund had (i) a policy permitting the fund to invest up to 100% of its assets in below investment grade quality debt instruments and (ii) a policy permitting the fund to invest in equity securities as a principal investment strategy. The fund's investment policies and strategies changed effective December 2, 2019. E1 Gross Expense Ratio is the fund's total operating expense ratio from the fund's most recent prospectus. Net Expense Ratio reflects the reduction of expenses from contractual fee waivers and reimbursements. Elimination of these reductions will result in higher expenses and lower performance. These contractual reductions will continue until at least date noted under the "Waiver End Date" column. P1 A portion of the fund's distributions may include a return of capital for shareholders. Distributions that are treated for federal income tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder's adjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale of shares. Performance data shown represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, please visit . Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers the fund's performance results would be less favorable. All results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Class A shares ("A") results include the maximum sales charge.

1 Performance information prior to March 7, 2022, reflects time periods when the fund was classified as a diversified fund. The fund was reclassified from diversified to non-diversified effective March 7, 2022. E1 Gross Expense Ratio is the fund's total operating expense ratio from the fund's most recent prospectus. Net Expense Ratio reflects the reduction of expenses from contractual fee waivers and reimbursements. Elimination of these

reductions will result in higher expenses and lower performance. These contractual reductions will continue until at least date noted under the "Waiver End Date" column. F1 Included in all fund classes' total returns for the year ended December 31, 2017, are proceeds received from a non-recurring litigation settlement against Household International Inc. Had these proceeds not been included, all total returns

within calendar year 2017 would have been lower by 0.89%. S1 Effective at the close of business on August 14, 2019, the fund will be closed to new investors subject to certain exceptions. Please see the prospectus for additional information.

Performance data shown represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted.

2 Performance information prior to June 15, 2021 reflects time periods when the fund did not have an investment strategy of allocating a portion of its assets to investment grade quality debt instruments. The fund's investment strategies changed effective June 15, 2021. 3 Performance information for periods prior to July 13, 2018 reflects periods when a subadvisor was responsible for managing the fund's tactical asset allocation overlay under a different investment process. E1 Gross Expense Ratio is the fund's total operating expense ratio from the fund's most recent prospectus. Net Expense Ratio reflects the reduction of expenses from contractual fee waivers and reimbursements. Elimination of these reductions will result in higher expenses and lower performance. These contractual reductions will continue until at least date noted under the "Waiver End Date" column. Performance data shown represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, please visit . Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers the fund's performance results would be less favorable. All results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
