        <ExplanationTxt>The Fund believes that all significant tax positions utilized by the Fund will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. As of June 30, 2025, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the fiscal year 2021 forward (with limited exceptions). Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as incurred and would be classified as tax expense in the statement of changes in benefit obligations and net assets available for benefits.</ExplanationTxt>
