Strategy and Fund Description
An investor in this investment option, which opened in November 2012, is buying into a blend of assets and does not have the option to pick and choose among the underlying investments. The allocation shown below will be maintained until economic conditions dictate a change, at which point the Board may decide to change the weights of the existing funds, replace a fund to upgrade performance or add or delete a fund in order to increase or decrease exposure to a specific market segment. This Fund makes monthly income distributions to investors.
