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.
The Fund's performance will depend on how its assets are allocated and reallocated among constituent Funds. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. The allocation among the underlying Funds will vary, and the investment may be subject to any and all of the following risks at different times and to different degrees. Investing in smaller companies may entail greater risk than investing in larger companies, including higher volatility. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail greater risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. The underlying funds may at times invest in mortgage-related securities and may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of derivative 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. 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. Although the Fund normally invests in a number of different underlying funds, it will be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with the individual fund(s) and any investments in which that Fund concentrates. The Fund's NAV will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAV of the underlying Funds. The cost of investing in the Fund will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.

Risk Section Source: IDS GmbH-Analysis and Reporting Services, an investment analysis and reporting service which is a subsidiary of Allianz SE. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The overall market is represented by the unmanaged index which is the fund?s official benchmark in its prospectus. 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 Moody's 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.
