Goal and Strategy

The Portfolio seeks high total return until its target retirement date. To pursue this goal, the Portfolio, which is a fund of funds, invests, under normal market conditions, substantially all of its assets in Underlying Funds using an asset allocation strategy designed for investors expected to retire in 2015.

The performance data shown represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited.

Performance figures assume that all distributions are reinvested. POP (public offering price) figures reflect maximum sales charge on Class A shares of 5% for equity funds and 4.5% for fixed-income funds with the exception of the Floating Rate Income fund and the Currency Strategies fund, which have a maximum sales charge of 3%. Performance quoted without sales charges would be reduced if the sales charges were applied. Performance for other share classes will vary. For money market funds, the yield quoted more closely reflect the current earnings of the fund than the total return performance shown. Sales charges do not apply to money market funds and as a result, those funds do not quote POP performance figures. The Fund operating expenses are 1.79%.

Risk Assessment

Morningstar Rating3

Overall Rating

As of 7/31/10 the Fund was rated 2 stars out of 97 funds for the 3-year period.

Load-Waived Rating

As of 7/31/10 the Fund was rated 2 stars out of 97 funds for the 3-year period.

Overall Rating is based on the 3-, 5- and 10-year Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Returns and accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance. The overall rating includes effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees, whereas the load-waived rating does not. Load-waived ratings for Class A shares should only be considered by investors who are not subject to a front-end sales charge. Contact your financial professional to determine whether you are eligible to purchase Class A shares without paying the front-end load. Other classes may be rated differently.

What You Should Know

Each Lifecycle Portfolio’s performance depends on the Adviser’s skill in determining the strategic asset class allocations, the mix of underlying funds as well as the performance of those underlying funds. The underlying funds’ performance may be lower than the performance of the asset class which they were selected to represent. A Lifecycle Portfolio is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which it invests, which include the following risks. Stocks can decline due to market, regulatory or economic developments. Investing in foreign securities is subject to certain risks not associated with domestic investing such as currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. The securities of small capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

Each Lifecycle portfolio’s name refers to the approximate retirement year of the investors for whom the portfolio’s asset allocation strategy is designed. The portfolios with dates farther off initially allocate more aggressively to stock funds. As a portfolio approaches and passes its target date, the allocation will gradually migrate to more conservative, fixed-income funds. The principal value of each portfolio is not guaranteed and you could lose money at any time, including at, or after, the target date. Before making an investment in a Lifecycle Portfolio, you should consider all the risks associated with it.

1 The performance results are for a very short period and may not be indicative of how the portfolio will perform in the future or for longer periods. Results reflect any expense reductions, which can be terminated in the future. Without these reductions, expenses increase and results would have been less favorable.
2 As of most recent month-end. Morningstar definitions: The Morningstar Style Box reveals the Fund’s investment strategy. For equity funds, the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend or growth).
3 Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect risk-adjusted performance through most recent month-end. The ratings are subject to change every month. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category, the next 22.5%, 35%, 22.5% and the bottom 10% receive 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star, respectively. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of 1 fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
