The same section of the SAI is revised by replacing the second to last paragraph of that section beginning with "Compensation." In its entirety with the following:

Compensation. The compensation of William Blair's portfolio managers is based on the firm's mission: "Empower Colleagues, Deliver Client Success and Engage in our Communities." Messrs. McClone and Scott-Gall are partners of William Blair, and Messrs. Birchenough and Smith are associates of William Blair. Compensation for partners of William Blair consists of a fixed base salary, a share of the firm's profits and, in most instances, a discretionary bonus, and compensation for associates of William Blair consists of a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus. The discretionary bonus as well as any potential changes to the partners' ownership stakes are determined by the head of William Blair's Investment Management Department and William Blair's Executive Committee, and are based on both quantitative and qualitative factors, rather than a formula. The discretionary bonus rewards the specific accomplishments in the prior year, including short-term and long-term investment performance, quality of research ideas, and other contributions to William Blair and its clients. Changes in ownership stake are based on an individual's sustained, multi-year contribution to long-term investment performance, and to William Blair's revenue, profitability, intellectual capital and brand reputation. The compensation process is a subjective one (albeit with many checks and balances and quantitative inputs) that takes into account the factors described above. Portfolio managers do not receive any direct compensation based upon the performance of any individual client account. In addition, there is no formula for evaluating the factors.

The same section of the SAI is revised by replacing the last paragraph of that section in its entirety with the following:

Ownership of fund shares. As of July 31, 2023, Messrs. McClone and Scott-Gall did not own shares of the fund. As of February 29, 2024, Messrs. Smith and Birchenough did not own shares of the fund.

PLEASE BE SURE TO RETAIN THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
