Balanced with Growth Strategy

(67% Equity / 23% Fixed Income / 10% Alternative Investments)

The primary goal of this portfolio is growth. It is somewhat stabilized with an element of fixed income to help endure market downturns. While a greater portion of the assets are invested in equities for added potential, it includes a moderate level of risk. For this, we recommend an investment time horizon of four to five years. Moderate volatility is to be expected.

Asset allocations current as of June 30, 2008, and are subject to change without notice and may include the addition, removal or substitution of one or more asset classes. High-yield (below investment grade) bonds are not suitable for all investors. When appropriate, these bonds should only comprise a modest portion of your portfolio. International investing also involves special risks, including currency fluctuations, different financial accounting standards, and possible political and economic volatility.

Commodities trading is generally considered speculative because of the significant potential for investment loss. Commodities are volatile investments and should only form a small part of a diversified portfolio. Among the factors that could affect the value of the fund's investments in commodities are cyclical economic conditions, sudden political events and adverse international monetary policies. These portfolios may be subject to international, small-cap and sector-focus exposures as well. Please read the accompanying descriptions of these strategies. Markets for precious metals and other commodities are likely to be volatile and there may be sharp price fluctuations even during periods when prices overall are rising.

Specific sector investing such as real estate can be subject to different and greater risks than more diversified investments. Declines in the value of real estate, economic conditions, property taxes, tax laws and interest rates all present potential risks to real estate investments. Investing in small- and mid-cap stocks generally involves greater risks, and therefore, may not be appropriate for every investor. There is an inverse relationship between interest rate movements and fixed income prices. Generally, when interest rates rise, fixed income prices fall and when interest rates fall, fixed income prices generally rise. Investing involves risk and investors may incur a profit or a loss.
