There is no guarantee asset allocation will produce favorable results or protect against a loss. Stocks have historically provided greater return potential than other investments over the long term, but may be subject to wide swings in value over shorter time periods. Bond funds tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund are subject to fluctuations in price due to issuer and credit quality, rising or falling interest rates, inflation, and call risks associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Small company investing is subject to a greater degree of risk and market volatility, and small companies have a higher risk of failure.

An investor should consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing or sending money. This and other important information about the investment company can be found in the fund’s prospectus. To obtain a prospectus, call 1-800-282-5706 or visit our Prospectus & Literature section.
