Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, including commissions, when it buys andsells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover ratemay indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes whenshares of the Fund are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are notreflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect theFund’s performance.

For the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 56% ofthe average value of its whole portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGYThe Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities ofcompanies expected to benefit from the development and use of scientific andtechnological advances and improvements. This 80% policy may be changedupon at least 60 days’ written notice to shareholders. The Fund may invest upto 50% of its assets in foreign securities purchased in either foreign or U.S.markets.

PRINCIPAL RISKSAny investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund’sobjective will be achieved. The Fund is actively managed and the investmenttechniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s manager(s) may not producethe desired results. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you alsoshould take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of thefinancial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in theFund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutualfunds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

The equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to stock market risk.A company’s stock price in general may decline over short or even extendedperiods, regardless of the success or failure of the company’s operations.Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generallygo up and periods when stock prices generally go down. Equity securitiestend to be more volatile than debt securities. In addition, to the degree theFund invests in foreign securities, there is a possibility that the value of theFund’s investments in foreign securities will decrease because of unique risks,such as currency exchange-rate fluctuations; foreign market illiquidity;emerging market risk; increased price volatility; uncertain political conditions;exchange control regulations; foreign ownership limits; different accounting,reporting, and disclosure requirements; difficulties in obtaining legaljudgments; and foreign withholding taxes. These risks may be heightened tothe extent the Fund invests in emerging market countries. Emerging marketcountries are less economically diverse and mature than more developedcountries and tend to be politically less stable.

2 | USAA Science & Technology Fund

A mutual fund portfolio consisting of investments related to the fields ofscience and technology is likely to be more volatile than a portfolio that ismore widely diversified in other economic sectors. There is a possibility thatthe Fund’s investments in companies whose value is highly dependent onscientific and technological developments may be more volatile because of theshort life cycles and competitive pressures of many of the products or servicesof these companies. Because of the competitiveness and rapid changes in thefields of science and technology, many of the companies in the Fund’sportfolio are subject to distinctive risks. The products and services of thesecompanies may not be economically successful or may quickly becomeoutdated. Additionally, many of these companies must comply with significantgovernmental regulations and may need governmental approval of theirproducts and services.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in USAA Federal Savings Bank,or any other bank, and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal DepositInsurance Corporation or any other government agency.

PERFORMANCEThe following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand therisks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has two classes of shares: FundShares and Adviser Shares. The bar chart provides some indication of therisks of investing in the Fund and illustrates the Fund Shares class’s volatilityand performance from year to year for each full calendar year over the past10 years. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the shareclasses for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund’s benchmarkindex, additional broad-based securities market indexes with investmentcharacteristics similar to the Fund, and an additional index of funds withsimilar investment objectives.

USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO, Adviser, or Manager)manages this Fund. For easier reading, AMCO may be referred to as“we” or “us” throughout the prospectus.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE■ What is the Fund’s investment objective?

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees(the “Board”) may change the investment objective without shareholderapproval.

MORE INFORMATION ON THEFUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY■ What is the Fund’s investment strategy?

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities ofcompanies that are expected to benefit from the development and use ofscientific and technological advances and improvements. This 80% policy maybe changed upon at least 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.

The Fund considers equity securities to include, among others, commonstocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, andsecurities that carry the right to buy common stocks.

The Fund may purchase and sell securities without regard to the length oftime held. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate will vary from year to yeardepending on market conditions, and it may exceed 100%. A high portfolioturnover rate increases transaction costs and may increase taxable capitalgains, which may affect Fund performance adversely.

In addition to the principal investment strategy discussed above, the Fund mayseek to earn additional income through securities lending.

■ In what industries will the Fund’s assets be invested?

At least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in industries such as,but not limited to, health care equipment & services, pharma, biotech, & lifesciences, software & services, technology hardware & equipment,semiconductors & semiconductor equipment, telecommunication services,media & entertainment, internet & direct marketing retail, aerospace anddefense, and other industries Wellington believes may benefit directly orindirectly from research and development in the science and technology fields.The Fund’s remaining assets may be invested in any other industry.


■ May the Fund’s assets be invested in foreign securities?

Yes. Up to 50% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in foreignsecurities purchased in either foreign or U.S. markets. These foreign holdingsmay include securities issued in emerging markets as well as securities issuedin established markets.

■ How are the decisions to buy and sell securities made?

Security selection decisions are based on in-depth fundamental analysis andvaluation. For stocks purchased for the portfolio, Wellington Managementtypically favors the following attributes: a positive change in operating resultsis anticipated; unrecognized or undervalued capabilities are present; andhigh-quality management that is able to deliver shareholder value.

Wellington Management typically will sell stocks when: target prices areachieved; there is a negative change in the company’s fundamental outlook; ormore attractive valuations are available in a comparable company.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE STRATEGY

The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that areinconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in attempting torespond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. The effectof taking such a temporary defensive position is that the Fund may notachieve its investment objective.

RISKSForeign Investing Risk: Foreign investing risk is the possibility that thevalue of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will decrease because ofunique risks, such as currency exchange-rate fluctuations; foreign marketilliquidity; emerging-market risk; increased price volatility; uncertain politicalconditions; exchange control regulations; foreign ownership limits; differentaccounting, reporting, and disclosure requirements; less publicly availableinformation about foreign issuers; difficulties in obtaining legal judgments;and foreign withholding taxes. Foreign investing may result in the Fundexperiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that investsexclusively in securities of U.S. companies. Three risks that require additionalconsideration are:

� Emerging-Markets Risk: Investments in countries that are in the earlystages of their industrial development involve exposure to economicstructures that generally are less economically diverse and mature thanthose in the United States and to political systems that may be lessstable. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to the risk ofabrupt and severe price declines and their financial markets often lackliquidity. In addition, emerging-market countries may be more likelythan developed countries to experience rapid and significant adverse

Prospectus | 9

developments in their political or economic structures.Emerging-market economies also may be overly reliant on particularindustries, and more vulnerable to shifts in international trade, tradebarriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. Governments inmany emerging-market countries participate to a significant degree intheir economies and securities markets. Some emerging-marketcountries restrict foreign investments, impose high withholding or othertaxes on foreign investments, impose restrictive exchange controlregulations, or may nationalize or expropriate the assets of privatecompanies. Emerging-market countries also may be subject to highinflation and rapid currency devaluations and currency-hedgingtechniques may be unavailable in certain emerging-market countries.

� Political Risk: Political risk includes a greater potential for coupsd’état, revolts, and expropriation by governmental organizations.

� European Economic Risk: In June 2016, the United Kingdom (UK)approved a referendum to leave the European Union (EU), commonlyreferred to as “Brexit.” The impact of Brexit is so far uncertain. Theeffect on the UK’s economy will likely depend on the nature of traderelations with the EU following its exit. On March 29, 2017, PrimeMinister Theresa May provided formal notification of the UK’sintention to withdraw from the EU pursuant to Article 50 of the Treatyof Lisbon. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, 2019, atwhich date a 21-month “transition” period will begin. The decision maycause increased volatility and have a significant adverse impact forsome time on world financial markets, other international tradeagreements, and the UK and European economies, as well as thebroader global economy.

Liquidity Risk: Certain securities held by the Fund may be difficult (orimpossible) to sell at the time and at the price the Fund would like due to avariety of factors, including general market conditions, the perceived financialstrength of the issuer, or specific restrictions on resale of the securities.Consequently, the Fund may have to hold these securities longer than it wouldlike and may forgo other investment opportunities. It also is possible that theFund could lose money or be prevented from realizing capital gains if it couldnot sell a security at the time and price of the Manager’s choosing. Lack ofliquidity may impact valuation of such securities and the Fund’s net assetvalue (NAV) adversely, especially during times of financial distress. Inaddition, the Fund may not be able to raise cash when needed or may beforced to sell other investments to raise cash, which could impact the Fund’sperformance negatively. Infrequent trading of securities also may lead to anincrease in price volatility. Liquidity is a general investment risk thatpotentially could impact any security, but funds that invest in privately placedsecurities, certain small-company securities, high-yield bonds,mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, foreign or emerging-marketsecurities, derivatives, or other structured investments, which all have


experienced periods of illiquidity, generally are subject to greater liquidity riskthan funds that do not invest in these types of securities.

Management Risk: The Fund is subject to management risk, which is thepossibility that the investment techniques and risk analyses used in managingthe Fund’s portfolio will not produce the desired results. In addition, weoperate under a “manager-of-managers” structure, which gives us the right,with the prior approval of the Board and without shareholder approval, tochange subadviser(s). If we add or replace a subadviser to the Fund, the Fundcould experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs thannormal if the new subadviser realigns the portfolio to reflect its investmenttechniques and philosophy. A realignment of the Fund’s portfolio could resultin higher capital gains and distributions, which could affect the tax efficiencyof the Fund negatively.

Science and Technology Sector Risk: A mutual fund portfolio consisting ofinvestments related to the fields of science and technology is likely to bemore volatile than a portfolio that is more widely diversified in othereconomic sectors. There is a possibility that the Fund’s investments incompanies whose value is highly dependent on scientific and technologicaldevelopments may be more volatile because of the short life cycles andcompetitive pressures of many of the products or services of these companies.Because of the competitiveness and rapid changes in the fields of science andtechnology, many of the companies in the Fund’s portfolio are subject todistinctive risks. The products and services of these companies may not beeconomically successful or may quickly become outdated. Additionally, manyof these companies must comply with significant governmental regulationsand may need governmental approval of their products and services.

Securities Lending Risk: The Fund may lend portfolio securities tobroker-dealers or other institutions on a fully collateralized basis. There is arisk of delay in recovering a loaned security and/or risk of loss in collateral ifthe borrower becomes insolvent. There also is risk of loss if the borrowerdefaults and fails to return the loaned securities. The Fund could incur losseson the reinvestment of cash collateral from the loan, if the value of theshort-term investments acquired with the cash collateral is less than theamount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

Stock Market Risk: Because the Fund invests in stocks and other assetswhose value is tied to stocks, it is subject to stock market risk. A company’sstock price in general may decline over short or even extended periods oftime, regardless of the success or failure of a company’s operations. Stockmarkets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up,and periods when stock prices generally go down. However, stock marketsalso can move up and down rapidly or unpredictably, based on overalleconomic conditions and other factors. Changes in the financial condition of asingle issuer can impact a market as a whole.

Prospectus | 11

Market turmoil may be reflected in perceptions of economic uncertainty, pricevolatility in the equity and debt markets, and fluctuating trading liquidity. Inresponse, governments may adopt a variety of fiscal and monetary policychanges, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies,new monetary programs, and lower interest rates. An unexpected or quickreversal of these policies could increase volatility in the equity and debtmarkets. Market conditions and economic risks could have a significant effecton domestic and international economies, and could add significantly to therisks of increased volatility for the Fund. Equity securities tend to be morevolatile than debt securities.

� Computer Systems Risk. In addition, markets and market participantsare increasingly reliant upon both publicly available and proprietaryinformation data systems. Data imprecision, software or othertechnology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized useor access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance ofthese systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, agroup of issuers, or the market at large. In certain cases, an exchangeor market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securitiesor even the entire market, which may result in the Fund being, amongother things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financialinstruments or accurately price its investments.

The performance adjustment is calculated separately for each class of sharesof the Fund on a monthly basis and will be added to or subtracted from thebase investment management fee depending upon the performance over theperformance period of the respective share class relative to the performance ofthe Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index, which tracks the total returnperformance of funds within the Lipper Science & Technology category. Thiscategory includes funds that invest at least 65% of their equity portfolio inscience and technology stocks. The performance period for each share classconsists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. The adjustmentrate is determined as referenced in the following chart:

Over/Under PerformanceRelative to Index(in basis points)1

Annual Adjustment Rate(in basis points as a percentageof the Fund’s average daily net assets)1

+/– 100 to 400 +/– 4+/– 401 to 700 +/– 5+/– 701 and greater +/– 6

1 Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of theFund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets ofthe relevant share class are calculated over a rolling 36-month period.

To determine the amount of the performance adjustment, the annualperformance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets ofthe Fund over the entire performance period, which then is multiplied by afraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and thedenominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount then isadded to (in the case of overperformance) or subtracted from (in the case ofunderperformance) the base investment management fee.

Under the performance fee arrangement, the Fund will pay a positiveperformance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the Fundoutperforms the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index over that period,even if the Fund had overall negative returns during the performance period.For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, the performance adjustment decreasedthe base investment management fee of 0.75% by 0.02% for the Fund Sharesand by 0.03% for the Adviser Shares.

EXCESSIVE SHORT-TERM TRADING

The USAA Funds generally are not intended as short-term investment vehicles(except for the money market funds, Short-Term Bond Fund, Ultra Short-TermBond Fund, and Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund). Some investors try to profitby using excessive short-term trading practices involving mutual fund shares,frequently referred to as “market timing.”

Excessive short-term trading activity can disrupt the efficient management ofa fund and raise its transaction costs by forcing portfolio managers to first buyand then sell portfolio securities in response to a large investment orredemption by short-term traders. While there is no assurance that the USAAFunds can deter all excessive and short-term trading, the Board has adoptedthe following policies (except for the money market funds, Short-Term BondFund, Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund, and Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund). Thesepolicies are designed to deter disruptive, excessive short-term trading withoutneedlessly penalizing bona fide investors.

To deter such trading activities, the USAA Funds’ policies and proceduresstate that:

� Each USAA Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order,including an exchange, that it regards as disruptive to the efficientmanagement of the particular fund.

� Each USAA Fund may use a fair value pricing service or other modelto assist in establishing the current value of foreign securities held bythe USAA Fund. Fair value pricing is used to adjust for “stale pricing”that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges ormarkets and the time when the USAA Fund calculates its NAV pershare. The use of fair value pricing is intended to deter investors whomay be trying to take advantage of time-zone differences in thevaluation of foreign securities and to prevent dilution to long-term


investors. Fair value pricing of a foreign security can result in a USAAFund using a price that is higher or lower than the closing price of aforeign security for purposes of calculating a USAA Fund’s NAV.

THE USAA FUNDS’ RIGHT TO REJECT PURCHASE ANDEXCHANGE ORDERS AND LIMIT TRADING IN ACCOUNTS

The USAA Funds’ main safeguard against excessive short-term trading is theirright to reject purchase or exchange orders if in the best interest of theaffected fund. In exercising this discretion to reject purchase and exchangeorders, the USAA Funds deem that certain excessive short-term tradingactivities are not in the best interest of the fund because such activities canhamper the efficient management of the fund. Generally, persons who engagein an “in and out” (or “out and in”) transaction within a 30-day period willviolate the USAA Funds’ policy if they engage in another “in and out” (or“out and in”) transaction in the same fund within 90 days. The USAA Fundsalso reserve the right to restrict future purchases or exchanges if an investor isclassified as engaged in other patterns of excessive short-term trading,including after one large disruptive purchase and redemption or exchange.Finally, the USAA Funds reserve the right to reject any other purchase orexchange order in other situations that do not involve excessive short-termtrading activities if in the best interest of a fund.

The following transactions are exempt from the excessive short-term tradingactivity policies described above:

� Transactions in the money market funds, Short-Term Bond Fund, UltraShort-Term Bond Fund, and Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund;

� Purchases and sales pursuant to automatic investment or withdrawalplans;

� Purchases and sales made through USAA Managed Portfolios-UMP®

,USAA 529 College Savings PlanTM, USAA Giving Fund, USAAFederal Savings Bank Trust Department, or other designated USAAmanaged investment accounts;

� Purchases and sales by the Target Retirement Funds, CornerstoneConservative Fund, and/or Cornerstone Equity Fund; and

� Other transactions that are not motivated by short-term tradingconsiderations if they are approved by transfer agent managementpersonnel and are not disruptive to a fund.

If a person is classified as having engaged in excessive short-term trading, theremedy will depend upon the trading activities of the investor in the accountand related accounts and its disruptive effect, and can include warnings tocease such activity and/or restrictions or termination of trading privileges in aparticular USAA Fund or all of the USAA Funds.

Prospectus | 25

The USAA Funds rely on the transfer agent to review trading activity forexcessive short-term trading. There can be no assurance, however, that itsmonitoring activities will successfully detect or prevent all excessiveshort-term trading. The USAA Funds or the transfer agent may excludetransactions below a certain dollar amount from monitoring and may changethat dollar amount from time to time.

The USAA Funds seek to apply these policies and procedures uniformly to allinvestors; however, some investors purchase shares of a USAA Fund throughfinancial intermediaries that establish omnibus accounts to invest in the USAAFunds for their clients and submit net orders to purchase or redeem sharesafter combining their client orders. The USAA Funds subject to the short-termtrading policies generally treat these omnibus accounts as an individualinvestor and will apply the short-term trading policies to the net purchases andsales submitted by the omnibus account unless the USAA Funds or theirtransfer agent have entered into an agreement requiring the omnibus accountto submit the underlying trading information for their clients upon our requestand/or monitor for excessive trading. For those omnibus accounts for whichwe have entered into agreements to monitor excessive trading or provideunderlying trade information, the financial intermediary or USAA Funds willreview net activity in these omnibus accounts for activity that indicatespotential, excessive short-term trading activity. If we detect suspicious tradingactivity at the omnibus account level, we will request underlying tradinginformation and review the underlying trading activity to identify individualaccounts engaged in excessive short-term trading activity. We will instruct theomnibus account to restrict, limit, or terminate trading privileges in aparticular fund for individual accounts identified as engaging in excessiveshort-term trading through these omnibus accounts.

We also may rely on the financial intermediary to review for and identifyunderlying trading activity for individual accounts engaged in excessiveshort-term trading activity, and to restrict, limit, or terminate trading privilegesif the financial intermediary’s policies are determined by us to be at least asstringent as the USAA Funds’ policy. For shares purchased through financialintermediaries there may be additional or more restrictive policies. You maywish to contact your financial intermediary to determine the policiesapplicable to your account.

Because of the increased costs to review underlying trading information, theUSAA Funds will not enter into agreements with every financial intermediarythat operates an omnibus account. The USAA Funds or their transfer agentcould decide to enter into such contracts with financial intermediaries for allfunds or particular funds and can terminate such agreements at any time.


OTHER FUND RIGHTS

The Fund reserves the right to:

� Reject or restrict purchase or exchange orders when in the best interestof the Fund;

MULTIPLE CLASS INFORMATIONThe Fund is comprised of multiple classes of shares. Each class shares theFund’s investment objective and investment portfolio. The classes havedifferent fees, expenses, and/or minimum investment requirements. Thedifference in the fee structures between the classes is primarily the result oftheir separate arrangements for shareholder and distribution services andperformance fee arrangements. It is not the result of any difference in baseinvestment management or custodial fee rate schedules or other expensesrelated to the management of the Fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.

Except as described below, the share classes have identical voting, dividend,liquidation, and other rights, preferences, terms, and conditions. The primarydifferences between the classes are: (a) each class may be subject to differentexpenses specific to that class; (b) each class has a different identifyingdesignation or name; (c) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect tomatters solely affecting that class; and (d) each class may have differentpurchase, exchange, and redemption privileges.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (Rule 12b-1Plan) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, with respectto Adviser Shares. Under the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Fund pays annual fees of

Prospectus | 27

0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Adviser Sharesto the distributor, or such other entities as the Fund’s Board may approve (thePayee), as compensation for rendering services and bearing expenses inconnection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of AdviserShares and/or providing services to shareholders of Adviser Shares. Under theRule 12b-1 Plan, such fees may cover expenses incurred by the Payee inconnection with the distribution and/or servicing of Adviser Shares of theFund and relating (among other things) to:

� compensation to the Payee and its employees;

� payment of the Payee’s expenses, including overhead andcommunication expenses;

� compensation to broker-dealers, financial intermediaries, and otherentities to pay or reimburse them for their services or expenses inconnection with the distribution of Adviser Shares;

� printing and mailing of prospectuses, SAIs, and reports for prospectiveshareholders;

� the preparation and distribution of sales literature and advertisingmaterials;

� responding to inquiries from shareholders or their financialrepresentatives requesting information regarding the USAA Funds; and

� responding to inquiries by and correspondence from shareholdersregarding ownership of their shares or their accounts.

The distributor pays all or a portion of such fees to financial intermediariesthat make the Adviser Shares available for investment by their customers andthe distributor may retain part of this fee as compensation for providing theseservices. If the fees received by the distributor under the Rule 12b-1 Planexceed its expenses, the distributor may realize a profit from thesearrangements. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on anongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investmentin the Adviser Shares and may cost you more than paying other types of salescharges. In addition, because some or all of the fees payable pursuant to theRule 12b-1 Plan may be used to pay for shareholder services that are notrelated to prospective sales of the Fund’s shares, the Adviser Shares maycontinue to make payments under the Rule 12b-1 Plan even if the Fundterminates the sale of Adviser Shares to investors. For additional informationabout the Rule 12b-1 Plan and its terms, see Multiple Class Information inthe SAI.


SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

Certain financial intermediaries perform recordkeeping, networking,administrative, sub-transfer agency, and shareholder services for their clientswith respect to their investments in the Fund that otherwise would beperformed by the Fund’s transfer agent or administrator and shareholderservicing agent. In some circumstances, we, or one of our affiliates, will pay afinancial intermediary for these services out of our own resources. In othercircumstances, the Fund will pay a fee to the financial intermediary forperforming those services. The Fund will not pay financial intermediariesmore than it would pay its direct service providers for transfer agency,administration, and/or shareholder services. In cases where intermediary feesare higher due to differences in the services being provided or other factors,the additional amounts will be paid by us and/or the distributor. In addition,these payments generally are based on either (1) a percentage of the averagedaily net assets of Fund shareholders’ accounts serviced by a financialintermediary or (2) a fixed dollar amount for each account serviced by afinancial intermediary. The aggregate amount of these payments may besubstantial.

In addition, we and the Fund’s distributor may make payments tointermediaries for various additional services, other expenses, and/or thefinancial intermediaries’ distribution of shares of the Fund. Such payments aresometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” and generally are negotiated witha financial intermediary on the basis of such factors as the number or value ofshares of the Fund that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the valueof client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or supportfurnished by the financial intermediary. Such revenue sharing payments areintended to compensate a financial intermediary for one or more of thefollowing: (1) distribution, which may include expenses incurred by financialintermediaries for their sales activities with respect to the Fund, such aspreparing, printing, and distributing sales literature and advertising materialsand compensating registered representatives or other employees of suchfinancial intermediaries for their sales activities, as well as the opportunity forthe Fund to be made available by such financial intermediaries; (2)shareholder services, such as providing individual and custom investmentadvisory services to clients of the financial intermediaries; and (3) marketingand promotional services, including business planning assistance, educatingpersonnel about the Fund, including the Fund on preferred or recommendedlists or in certain sales programs sponsored by the intermediary, andsponsorship of sales meetings, which may include covering costs of providingspeakers. The distributor may sponsor seminars and conferences designed toeducate financial intermediaries about the Fund and may cover the expensesassociated with attendance at such meetings, including travel costs. Thesepayments and activities are intended to educate financial intermediaries about

Prospectus | 29

the Fund and may help defray or compensate the financial intermediary forthe costs associated with offering the Fund.

The payments also may, to the extent permitted by applicable regulations,contribute to various non-cash and cash incentive arrangements to promote thesale of shares of the Fund, as well as sponsor various educational programs,sales contests and/or promotions. We and the Fund’s distributor may, fromtime to time, provide occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other entertainment, orsupport for due diligence trips. These payments are in addition to any feespaid by the Fund to compensate financial intermediaries for providingdistribution-related services to the Fund and/or shareholder services to Fundshareholders. These payments may be a fixed dollar amount or may be basedon a percentage of the value of shares sold to, or held by, customers of thefinancial intermediary involved. The amount of these payments may besubstantial and may differ among financial intermediaries. In addition, certainfinancial intermediaries may have access to certain services from us or thedistributor, including research reports and economic analysis, and portfolioanalysis tools. In certain cases, the financial intermediary may not pay forthese services. These payments and other arrangements may create a conflictof interest by influencing the financial intermediary to recommend the Fundover another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financialintermediary’s website for more information. The amount of any paymentsdescribed by this paragraph is determined by us or the distributor, and all suchamounts are paid out of our available assets or the assets of the distributorand do not directly affect the total expense ratio of the Fund.

SHARE PRICE CALCULATION

The price at which you purchase and redeem shares of the Fund is equal tothe NAV per share calculated on the effective date of the purchase orredemption. The NAV per share is calculated by adding the value of theFund’s assets (i.e., the value of its investments and other assets), deductingliabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Shares of theFund may be purchased and sold at the NAV per share without a sales charge.The Fund’s NAV per share is calculated as of the close of the NYSE(generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) each day that the NYSE is open for regulartrading. The NYSE is closed on most national holidays and Good Friday.

VALUATION OF SECURITIES

The Board has established a Valuation and Liquidity Committee (the“Committee”); and subject to Board oversight and approval, the Committeeadministers and oversees the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures. Amongother things, these policies and procedures allow the Fund to utilizeindependent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and a widevariety of sources and information to establish and adjust the fair value ofsecurities as events occur and circumstances warrant.


Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except as otherwisenoted, traded primarily on domestic securities exchanges or theover-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sale price or official closingprice on the exchange or primary market on which they trade. Equitysecurities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets arevalued at the last quoted sale price, or the most recently determined officialclosing price calculated according to local market convention, available at thetime the Fund is valued. If no last sale or official closing price is reported oravailable, the average of the bid and ask prices generally is used.

Equity securities trading in various foreign markets may take place on dayswhen the NYSE is closed. Further, when the NYSE is open, the foreignmarkets may be closed. Therefore, the calculation of the Fund’s NAV may nottake place at the same time the prices of certain foreign securities held by theFund are determined. In many cases, events affecting the values of foreignsecurities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or officialclosing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day theFund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of theFund’s foreign securities. However, we and the subadviser(s) will monitor forevents that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities.The subadviser(s) have agreed to notify us of significant events they identifythat may materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. If wedetermine that a particular event would materially affect the value of theFund’s foreign securities, then the Committee will consider such availableinformation that we deem relevant and will determine a fair value for theaffected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Inaddition, information from an external vendor or other sources may be used toadjust the foreign market closing prices of foreign equity securities to reflectwhat the Committee believes to be the fair value of the securities as of theclose of the NYSE. Fair valuation of affected foreign equity securities mayoccur frequently based on an assessment that events which occur on a fairlyregular basis (such as U.S. market movements) are significant.

Debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days are valued each businessday by a pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. The Serviceuses an evaluated mean between quoted bid and ask prices or the last salesprice to price securities when, in the Service’s judgment, these prices arereadily available and are representative of the securities’ market values. Formany securities, such prices are not readily available. The Service generallyprices these securities based on methods that include consideration of yieldsor prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type;indications as to values from dealers in securities; and general marketconditions.

Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days orless may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized cost representsthe fair value of such securities.

Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.

Prospectus | 31

Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds,other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price at the close of market onthe principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of anytransactions that day, the values are based upon the settlement price on theprior trading date if it is within the spread between the closing bid and askprice closest to the settlement price.

Options contracts are valued by a pricing service at the National BestBid/Offer (NBBO) composite price, which is derived from the best availablebid and ask prices in all participating options exchanges determined to mostclosely reflect market value of the options at the time of computation of theFund’s NAV. Options on futures are valued at the settlement price.

Forward foreign currency contracts are valued on a daily basis using forwardforeign currency exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, arenot reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized inrelation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in goodfaith, at fair value, by the Committee in accordance with valuation proceduresapproved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities maynot be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in whichthey are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security maydiffer materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fairvalue is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than itotherwise would be.

Fair value methods used by the Fund include, but are not limited to, obtainingmarket quotations from secondary pricing services, broker-dealers, otherpricing services, or widely used quotation systems. General factors consideredin determining the fair value of securities include fundamental analytical data,the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the securities,evaluation of credit quality, and an evaluation of the forces that influenced themarket in which the securities are purchased and sold.

For additional information on how securities are valued, see Valuation ofSecurities in the Fund’s SAI.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund pays distributions of net investment income (“dividends”) annually.Ordinarily, any net realized capital gains are distributed in December of eachyear. The Fund may make additional distributions to shareholders, or may notmake a distribution, when considered appropriate or necessary. For example,the Fund could make one or more additional distributions to avoid theimposition of any federal income or excise taxes or may not make adistribution to limit returns of capital.


The Fund automatically reinvests all dividends and other distributions paid ona share class in additional shares of that class unless you request to receivethose distributions by way of electronic funds transfer. The share price for areinvestment is the NAV per share of the class computed on theex-distribution date. Any distribution made by the Fund reduces the NAV pershare of the class by the amount of the distribution on the ex-distribution date.You should consider carefully the effects of purchasing shares of the Fundshortly before any distribution (as explained below). The Fund will invest inyour account, at the current NAV per share, any distribution payment returnedto the Fund by your financial institution.

TAXES

The following tax information is quite general and refers to the federalincome tax law in effect as of the date of this prospectus.

■ Treatment of the Fund

The Fund, which is treated as a separate corporation for federal tax purposes,has qualified for each past taxable year, and intends to continue to qualify, fortreatment as a “regulated investment company” under the Code. By doing so,the Fund (but not its shareholders) is relieved of federal income tax on thepart of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of taxablenet investment income, the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gain overnet long-term capital loss (“net short-term gain”), and net gains and lossesfrom certain foreign currency transactions, if any, all determined withoutregard to any deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (i.e., theexcess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any,that it distributes to its shareholders.

■ Shareholder Taxation

Distributions that shareholders receive from the Fund generally are subject tofederal income tax and may be subject to state and/or local taxes. Dividendsand distributions of net short-term gains are taxable to you as ordinaryincome, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of theFund. A portion of the Fund’s dividends (which is not expected to besubstantial) may qualify for (1) the 50% dividends-received deductionavailable to corporations, and (2) the lower maximum federal income tax ratesapplicable to “qualified dividend income” of individuals and certain othernon-corporate shareholders (each, an “individual shareholder”) who satisfycertain holding period and other restrictions with respect to their shares of theFund—a maximum of 15% for a single shareholder with taxable income notexceeding $425,800 ($479,700 for married shareholders filing jointly) and20% for those individual shareholders with taxable income exceeding thoserespective amounts (which are effective for 2018 and will be adjusted forinflation annually thereafter).

Prospectus | 33

Regardless of the length of time you have held shares of the Fund,distributions of net capital gains that the Fund realizes are taxable to you aslong-term capital gains, whether received in cash or reinvested in additionalshares of the Fund. Those distributions are taxed to individual shareholders atthe 15% and 20% tax rates described above.

You may realize a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on aredemption or an exchange (which is treated like a redemption for thosepurposes) of shares of the Fund. Your gain or loss is based on the difference,if any, between your basis in the redeemed (or exchanged) shares and theredemption proceeds (or the aggregate NAV of the shares of the fund intowhich you exchange) you receive. Any capital gain an individual shareholderrecognizes on a redemption or exchange of his or her shares of the Fund thathave been held for more than one year will qualify for the 15% and 20% taxrates described above.

In addition, an individual shareholder is subject to a 3.8% federal tax on thelesser of (1) the individual’s “net investment income,” which generallyincludes taxable distributions the Fund pays and net gains realized on theredemption or exchange of shares of the Fund, or (2) the excess of his or her“modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000 (or $250,000 if married andfiling jointly). This tax is in addition to any other taxes due on that income.You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, this provisionmay have on your investment in shares of the Fund.

Your basis in shares of the Fund that you acquired after December 31, 2011,(Covered Shares) will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s defaultmethod, which is average basis, unless you affirmatively elect in writing(which may be electronic) to use a different acceptable basis determinationmethod, such as a specific identification method. The basis determinationmethod you elect (or the default method) may not be changed with respect toa redemption of Covered Shares after the settlement date of the redemption.You should consult with your tax adviser to determine the best IRS-acceptedbasis determination method.

■ Withholding

Federal law requires the Fund to withhold (referred to as “backupwithholding”) and remit to the U.S. Treasury 24% of (1) dividends, capitalgain distributions, and proceeds of redemptions, regardless of the extent towhich gain or loss may be realized, otherwise payable to any individualshareholder who fails to furnish the Fund with a correct taxpayeridentification number and (2) those dividends and distributions otherwisepayable to any individual shareholder who:

� Underreports dividend or interest income or

� Fails to certify that he or she is not subject to backup withholding.


Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amounts so withheldmay be credited against a shareholder’s federal income tax liability orrefunded. To avoid this withholding, you must certify on your application, oron a separate IRS Form W-9 supplied by the Fund’s transfer agent, that yourtaxpayer identification number is correct and you currently are not subject tobackup withholding.

■ Reporting

The Fund will report information to you annually concerning the tax status ofyour dividends and other distributions for federal income tax purposes. Inaddition, the Fund (or its administrative agent) must report to the IRS andfurnish to its shareholders the basis information for Covered Shares andindicate whether they had a short-term (one year or less) or long-term (morethan one year) holding period. You should consult with your tax adviser toobtain more information about how the basis reporting law applies to you.
