Description

Fund Objective
This fund seeks the balanced accomplishment of three objectives: long-term growth of capital, conservation of principal and current income.
Distinguishing Characteristics
This globally diversified balanced fund has the ability to invest generally between 45% and 75% of its assets in equities, with an emphasis on well-established companies, including those paying dividends and those with attractive growth prospects. The diversified and predominantly high-quality fixed income portion of the portfolio has the potential to provide income and limit volatility.
Types of Investments
The fund normally maintains at least 45% of its assets in common stocks and other equity investments, with a focus on medium- and larger-sized companies. Typically, the fund also invests at least 25% of its assets in investment-grade (BBB/Baa and above) fixed-income securities (or unrated, but determined by the fund’s investment adviser to be of equivalent quality), including government/agency, corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed securities and money market instruments.
Holdings Outside the U.S.
The fund normally invests a significant portion of its assets outside the U.S., including in emerging market countries. Bonds issued outside the U.S. are typically denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
Portfolio Restrictions
Most of the fund's fixed-income securities are investment-grade (rated BBB-/Baa3 or better, or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the fund's investment adviser). However, the fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in lower quality, higher yielding debt securities (rated BB+/Ba1 or below, or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality), including securities convertible into common stocks.

Prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. View .

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.

Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the fund , which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.

The return of principal for bond portfolios and for portfolios with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Investments are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings.

Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds.

Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.

Smaller company stocks entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.
