Davis Global Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. Davis Global Fund’s principal risks are: stock market risk, common stock risk, foreign country risk, China risk-generally, headline risk, depositary receipts risk, foreign currency risk, exposure to industry or sector risk, emerging market risk, large-capitalization companies risk, manager risk, fees and expenses risk, and mid- and small-capitalization companies risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, Fund prices fluctuate, and the value of an investment may be worth more or less than the purchase price. Data provided in this performance overview is for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted. Return figures for underlying Fund positions reflect the return of the security from the beginning of the period or the date of first purchase if subsequent thereto through the end of the period or the date the position is completely liquidated. The actual contribution to the Fund will vary based on a number of factors (e.g., trading activity, weighting). Portfolio holding information is as of the end of the twelve-month period, October 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted.

1 The companies included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index are divided into eleven sectors. One or more industry groups make up a sector. For purposes of measuring concentration, the Fund generally classifies companies at the industry group or industry level. See the SAI for additional information regarding the Fund’s concentration policy.

2 A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Fund’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the Fund. For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3 Management's Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies. The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold any particular security. The Schedule of Investments lists the Fund’s holdings of each company discussed.

The Fund’s performance benefited from IPO purchases in 2013 and 2014. After purchase, the IPOs rapidly increased in value. Davis Advisors purchases shares intending to benefit from long-term growth of the underlying company; the rapid appreciation of the IPOs were unusual occurrences.

The MSCI ACWI® is a free float- adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The Index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes. Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The performance data quoted in this report represents past performance, assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The operating expense ratios may vary in future years. For most recent month-end performance information, please call Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279 or visit the Fund’s website at www.davisfunds.com.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of each Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and short-term trading fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated which for each class is for the six-month period ended October 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual maintenance fee of $15, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. This fee will be waived for accounts sharing the same Social Security Number if the accounts total at least $50,000 at Davis Funds. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes 

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. An annual maintenance fee of $15, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. This fee will be waived for accounts sharing the same Social Security Number if the accounts total at least $50,000 at Davis Funds. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

*Expenses are equal to each Class's annualized operating expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

**The expense ratios reflect the impact, if any, of certain reimbursements and/or waivers from the Adviser.

The Fund commenced operations on December 29, 2006, and until January 1, 2010, shares of the Fund were not available for public sale.

Because of the risk inherent in any investment program, the Company cannot ensure that the investment objective of its Funds will be achieved.

Prior to being available for public sale, only the directors, officers, and employees of the Funds or their investment adviser and sub-adviser (and the investment adviser itself and affiliated companies) were eligible to purchase the Funds’ shares.

The Funds follow the reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Fund. Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to any contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. Class Y shares are only available to certain qualified investors. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), and gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by each class. Operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis and those directly attributable to a specific class, such as distribution and transfer agent fees, are charged against the operations of that class. All classes have identical rights with respect to voting (exclusive of each class’ distribution arrangement), liquidation, and distributions. Each Fund assesses a 2% short-term trading fee on the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Davis Fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by each Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective February 29, 2024, the short term trading fee for each Fund is eliminated. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Funds' Board of Directors has designated Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Funds' investment adviser, as the valuation designee for the Funds. The Adviser has established a Pricing Committee to carry out the day-to-day valuation activities for the Funds. The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges including NASDAQ) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds' assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Adviser identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds' assets are valued, but after the close of their respective exchanges, will be fair valued using a fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser’s portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may consider (i) comparing prior day prices and/or prices of comparable securities; (ii) comparing sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source; (iii) new rounds of financing; (iv) the performance of the market or the issuer’s industry; (v) the liquidity of the security; (vi) the size of the holding in a fund; and/or (vii) any other appropriate information. The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the

consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Short-term investments purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Pricing Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Directors receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Adviser’s process for determining the fair value of the Funds' investments.

Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 − 

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 − 

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 − 

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Funds can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2023 in valuing each Fund's investments carried at value:

The following table reconciles the valuation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the year ended October 31, 2023. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period on Level 3 securities still held at October 31, 2023 was $2,563 for Davis Global Fund. The cost of purchases or proceeds from sales may include securities received or delivered through corporate actions or exchanges. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts on investments in the Statements of Operations.

The following table is a summary of those assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used by the Adviser in determining fair value. Note that these amounts exclude any valuations provided by a pricing service or broker.

Davis Global Fund
Investments in Securities:
Common Stock	$37,208	Discounted Cash Flow	Annualized Yield	6.507%	Decrease
Total Level 3	$37,208

The significant unobservable input listed in the above table is used in the fair value measurement of common stock, and if changed, would affect the fair value of the Fund’s investments. The “Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input” represents the change in fair value measurement resulting from an increase in the corresponding input. A decrease in the input would have the opposite effect.

Repurchase Agreements - Repurchase agreements are transactions under which a Fund purchases a security from a dealer counterparty and agrees to resell the security to that counterparty on a specified future date at the same price, plus a specified interest rate. The Fund’s repurchase agreements are secured by U.S. government or agency securities. It is the Fund’s policy that its regular custodian or third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the collateral securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to United States Dollar (“USD”) on the date of valuation using exchange rates determined as of the close of trading on the Exchange. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

Foreign Currency - The Funds may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to USD. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Funds to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. During the year ended October 31, 2023, there were no forward currency contracts entered into by the Funds.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books, and the USD equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The Funds include foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sales of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Federal Income Taxes  - It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required. The Adviser analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and concluded that as of October 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements related to these tax positions. The Funds' federal and state (Arizona) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state Department of Revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2020.

Capital losses will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains. At October 31, 2023, the Funds had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards with no expiration as follows:

 

	Capital Loss Carryforwards
	Davis Global Fund	Davis International Fund
Character
Short-term	$31,251,275	$40,022,284
Long-term	617,582	30,846,404
Total	$31,868,857	$70,868,688
Utilized during year ended October 31, 2023	$19,104,492	$–

Additionally, based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains, and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which they invest, the Funds will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

At October 31, 2023, the aggregate cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

	Davis Global Fund	Davis International Fund
Cost	$605,038,671	$144,190,980
Unrealized appreciation	177,325,086	23,612,160
Unrealized depreciation	(95,027,871 )	(24,457,545 )
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$82,297,215	$(845,385 )

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments [collectively “Distributable earnings (losses)”] may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to permanent and temporary differences which may include wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses,  corporate actions, partnership income, and passive foreign investment company shares. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds. The Funds adjust certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules. The Funds’ net assets have not been affected by these reclassifications.

Other temporary differences	(61,646 )	(16,649 )
Total	$58,675,767	$(69,147,696 )

Indemnification - Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, some of the Funds' contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Directors Fees and Expenses - The Funds set up a Rabbi Trust to provide for the deferred compensation plan for Independent Directors that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of annual fees they are entitled to receive. The value of an eligible Director's account is based upon years of service and fees paid to each Director during the years of service. The amount paid to the Director by the Trust under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the Davis Funds in which the amounts are invested.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Investment Advisory Fees and Reimbursement/Waiver of Expenses - Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser. The annual rate for each Fund is 0.55% of the average net assets. The Adviser is contractually committed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds’ expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses (Class A shares, 1.05%; Class C shares, 1.80%; and Class Y shares, 0.80%). The Adviser is obligated to continue the expense cap through March 1, 2024. The expense cap cannot be modified prior to this date without the consent of the Board of Directors. After that date, there is no assurance that the Adviser will continue to cap expenses. The Adviser may not recoup any of the operating expenses it has reimbursed to the Funds. During the year ended October 31, 2023, such reimbursements for Class A and Class C of Davis International Fund amounted to $7,180 and $4,780, respectively.

The service fee is paid at an annual rate up to 0.25% of the average net assets maintained by the responsible dealers. Each of the Funds pays the Distributor a 12b-1 fee on Class C shares at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of Class C shares or the maximum amount provided by applicable rule or regulation of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which currently is 1.00%. The Funds pay the 12b-1 fee on Class C shares in order: (i) to pay the Distributor distribution fees or commissions on Class C shares which have been sold and (ii) to enable the Distributor to pay service fees on Class C shares which have been sold.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Davis New York Venture Fund, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Davis Global Fund and Davis International Fund (each a series of Davis New York Venture Fund, Inc.) (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each Fund as of October 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Davis Funds investment companies since 1998.

Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited)

In early 2024, shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Funds during the calendar year 2023. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Funds to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

The information and distributions reported herein may differ from the information reported as distributions taxable to certain shareholders for the calendar year 2023 with their 2023 Form 1099-DIV.

The information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Funds to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations that may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax adviser for specific guidance.

Each Fund designates the following amounts distributed during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, if any, as dividends eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction, qualified dividend income, and long-term capital gain distributions. 

	Davis Global Fund	Davis International Fund
Income dividends*	$1,796,535	$640,181
Income qualifying for corporate dividends-received deduction	$724,152 40%	$–
Qualified dividend income	$1,796,535 100%	$640,181 100%

 

* Includes foreign tax credit pass-through, if applicable.

Davis Global Fund and Davis International Fund have elected to give the benefit of foreign tax credits to their shareholders, if applicable. Accordingly, shareholders who must report their gross income dividends and distributions in a federal tax return will be entitled to a foreign tax credit, or an itemized deduction, in computing their U.S. income tax liability. It is generally more advantageous to claim a credit rather than to take a deduction.

Pursuant to Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code, Davis Global Fund and Davis International Fund designate $1,104,995 and $359,166, respectively, as foreign taxes paid during the year ended October 31, 2023. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Davis Global Fund and Davis International Fund received foreign sourced income in the amounts of $12,055,101 and $4,449,313, respectively. The Funds did not derive any income from ineligible foreign sources as defined under Section 901(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. Foreign taxes paid for purposes of Section 853 may be less than actual foreign taxes paid for financial statement purposes.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Following is a description of the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Liquidity Rule is meant to promote effective liquidity risk management practices in order to reduce the likelihood that a fund would be unable to meet its redemption obligations.

The Board has appointed Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”) to serve as the Administrator of the LRMP, subject to the supervision of the Board. The Adviser has engaged a third party to perform certain functions, including the production of liquidity classification model information.

The Adviser monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of the LRMP on an ongoing basis. This monitoring includes a review of the Funds' liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including the Funds' (1) investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, and (4) borrowing arrangements and other funding sources. The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires a fund that does not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the funds' net assets in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The LRMP includes provisions and safeguards that are reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and the Funds are currently classified as Funds that primarily hold highly liquid investments. The LRMP includes the classification, no less than monthly, of the Funds' investments into one of four liquidity classifications as provided for in the Liquidity Rule.

At a recent meeting of the Funds' Board of Directors, the Adviser provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the LRMP from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. The report concluded that the LRMP is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds' liquidity risk. There can be no guarantee that the LRMP will achieve its objectives in the future. Additional information regarding risks of investing in the Funds, including liquidity risks presented by the Funds' investment portfolio, is found in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
