The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Fund Inception: 05/31/2007

Performance for Class F-shares prior to its inception date would have differed if Class F- operating expenses had been reflected. Since Inception (SI) performance is calculated from 5/31/07.

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The Fund is considered not actively managed since the Fund consistently invests one third of its assets in each of the same three underlying funds. As a result, the Fund may underperform actively managed funds during certain markets. • The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their objectives. The Fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds, in direct proportion to the amount of assets it invests in each underlying fund. The underlying funds are subject to the risks specific to their investment strategies, such as market, mid-cap securities, foreign securities, emerging-market securities, fixed-income securities (which carry credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risks), mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, and derivative risks, and to the extent the underlying fund is an ETF, risks associated with the ETF.
