Why you should vote Fund shareholders are being asked to vote to approve new investment advisory agreements and, where applicable, new investment sub-advisory agreements. Your vote is important because the acquisition may cause each Fund’s existing investment advisory and, where applicable, investment sub-advisory agreement to terminate. The Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies, portfolio managers and brands are expected to remain the same upon closing of the transaction.
How to vote Voting is easy and shareholders may vote online, by phone, by mail, or at the shareholder meeting. Please follow the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction form to vote. Below are voting links for more detailed voting steps. | |
