Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.

 

This Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities, up to 30% in foreign currency-denominated securities, and 10% in high-yield securities. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. This Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.

Risk Section Source: Lipper, Inc. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the S & P 500 for equity portfolios and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for fixed-income portfolios. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolios market risk is greater than the overall markets, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.

 

The credit quality of the securities in the portfolio is generally calculated by Moodys or S & P; if unrated, the investment manager may determine a comparable rating, which is included in the portfolio breakdown. The credit quality of the investment in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the fund.
