Fund Description

Diversified across equity and fixed income securities, the fund’s tactical allocation approach seeks to generate a combination of capital appreciation and income. For the fund’s U.S. equity allocation, the subadviser invests in a select group of large market capitalization growth companies believed by the fund’s subadviser to be undervalued relative to their future growth potential. The investment strategy emphasizes companies the subadviser believes to have a sustainable competitive advantage, strong management and low financial risk, and to be able to grow over market cycles. For the fund’s non-U.S. equity exposure, the subadviser’s investment strategy emphasizes companies that the subadviser believes to have a sustainable competitive advantage, strong management and low financial risk and to be able to grow over market cycles.. For the fixed income allocation, the subadviser employs a time-tested approach of active sector rotation, extensive credit research, and disciplined risk management designed to capitalize on opportunities across the fixed income markets.

The fund invests in U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity and fixed income securities using a tactical allocation approach. Generally, the following percentages apply: 25% to 60% invested in U.S. equity securities, 5% to 30% invested in non-U.S. equity securities and 35% to 60% invested in fixed income securities. The equity allocation is invested in common, preferred, and ADR securities. The fixed income allocation may be invested in all sectors of fixed income securities, including high-yield (“junk bonds”), bank loans (which are generally floating rate), mortgage-backed and asset-backed, government, corporate, and municipal debt obligations. Normally, the fund’s fixed income allocation has a dollar-weighted average duration of between two and eight years. The fund may invest in both U.S. and foreign (non-U.S.) securities, including those of issuers in emerging market countries, and may invest in issuers of any size. Allocation percentages are measured at time of purchase.

Generally, the fund’s U.S. equity investments are in large market capitalization companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the fund’s subadviser considers large market capitalization companies for this purpose to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 1000® Index on a rolling three-year basis. On this basis, as of September 30, 2023, the market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Index was $67.5 million to $3.09 trillion. The fund’s non-U.S. equity investments are principally in small- and mid-capitalization companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the fund’s equity subadviser considers small- and mid-capitalization companies to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations generally within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World ex USA SMID Cap Index on a rolling three-year basis. On this basis, as of September 30, 2023, the total market capitalization range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World ex USA SMID Cap Index over the past three years was $0 to $40.4 billion.
