% AUM Engaged: Engagement as a percent of assets under management (AUM) is the percent of the fund’s AUM engaged, out of the fund’s engageable assets. The following securities that are not engageable are excluded from this calculation: U.S. Treasury securities, derivative contracts, sovereign bonds, third-party pooled vehicles, and U.S. government-operated repurchase facilities. For funds that invest in affiliated funds, the engagement numbers reflect exposure to the underlying securities held by the affiliated funds, where applicable, and the engagements for those funds are included within the overall percentages.
The fund’s R6 Shares commenced operations on June 11, 2021. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of the R6 Shares, the performance information shown is for the fund’s Institutional Shares. The performance of the Institutional Shares has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses applicable to the R6 Shares. The performance for the R6 class would be substantially similar to that of the Institutional class over the same period because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and would differ only to the extent the classes do not have the same expenses.
ESG factors may be considered in the investment analysis process in a manner that is complementary to and enhances the fundamental research and analysis process. Certain ESG factors may help identify business and operational risks or opportunities and add a contextual dimension to the overall evaluation of a security. Like any aspect of investment analysis, there is no guarantee that an investment strategy that considers ESG factors will result in performance better than or equal to products that do not consider such factors.
