The Fund is subject to both credit and interest rate risk. The Fund's share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements, with bond prices generally moving in the opposite direction from interest rates. Credit risk refers to the bond issuers ability to make timely payments of principal and interest.

Investments in foreign securities may involve different and additional risks associated with foreign currencies, investment disclosure, accounting, securities regulation, commissions, taxes, political or social instability, war, or expropriation.

Asset Allocation Funds do not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment loss. Before investing, you should carefully read the applicable risk and volatility disclosure for each of the Underlying Funds, which can be found in the current prospectus.

The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, which are subject interest rate risk, credit risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and the risk of default by the holders of the mortgages or other obligations underlying the securities.

As an asset allocation Fund that has set limits on the amount of assets it may invest in any one asset class, the Fund has less flexibility in it investment strategy than non-allocation funds.

High-yield securities, or "junk bonds," are rated lower than investment grade bonds because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities.
