Morningstar Category: Fund Moderately Conservative Allocation
Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments all of which are magnified in emerging markets. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), the risk of issuer or counterparty default, issuer credit risk and inflation risk. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks all of which are magnified in emerging markets. Lower-quality bonds can be more volatile and have greater risk of default than higher-quality bonds. Floating rate loans may not be fully collateralized and therefore may decline significantly in value. Moreover, they may be subject to restrictions on resale and sometimes trade infrequently in the secondary market; as a result they may be more difficult to value, buy, or sell. If the fund’s asset allocation strategy does not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Characteristics
Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers a security’s interest payments in addition to the amount of time until the security reaches maturity, and also takes into account certain maturity shortening features (e.g., demand features, interest rate resets, and call options) when applicable. Securities with longer durations generally tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. A fund with a longer average duration generally can be expected to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than a fund with a shorter average duration.
30-day SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission for bond funds. The yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period, after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. It is sometimes referred to as “SEC 30-Day Yield” or “standardized yield”.
30-Day SEC Restated Yield is the fund’s 30-day yield without applicable waivers or reimbursements, stated as of month-end.
Net Asset Value is the dollar value of one share of a fund; determined by taking the total assets of a fund, subtracting the total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.
