* "Gov't and Gov't Related" may include nominal and inflation-protected Treasuries, Agencies, interest rate swaps, Treasury futures and options, and FDIC-guaranteed corporate securities.** "Net Cash & Equivalents" is defined as any investment grade security with duration less than one year. Periodically these sectors may not be represented in the fund. Sectors are subject to change.

 

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.

 

This Fund will typically seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments, swap transactions, or index- and commodity-linked "structured" notes. These instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Investments in commodities may be affected by overall market movements, changes in interest rates, and other factors such as weather, disease, embargoes and international economic and political developments. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agricultural products. The value of a commodity-linked derivative is generally based on: price movements of a commodity, a commodity futures contract, a commodity index, or other economic variables based on changes in the commodities markets. 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. These instruments are backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other fixed income instruments. This Fund is non-diversified, which means it may incur greater risk by concentrating its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. This Fund may invest 30% of its total assets in foreign securities, which may entail greater risk due to foreign economic and political developments, up to 10% in high yield securities, and may invest in mortgage-related securities. 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.

Risk Section Source: Lipper, Inc. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the S&P 500 for equity portfolios and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index for fixed-income portfolios. 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 portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, 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.
