The fund is the successor to the MDT Balanced Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information shown for periods prior to that date is that of the MDT Balanced Fund.

Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

International investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit/default and liquidity risks, and may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

* The ratings agencies that provided the ratings are Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of BBB are good credit quality and the lowest category of investment grade; credit ratings BB and below are lower-rated securities (“junk bonds”); and credit ratings of CCC or below have high default risk. The credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the fund.

Investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involve special risks associated with an investment in real estate, such as limited liquidity and interest rate risks.

The holdings percentages are based on net assets at the close of business on the date, above, and may not necessarily reflect adjustments that are routinely made when presenting net assets for formal financial statement purposes. Because this is a managed portfolio, the investment mix will change.

Investors should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a prospectus, or if available, a summary prospectus containing this and other information, contact us or view the prospectus provided on this website. Please carefully read the prospectus or the summary prospectus before investing.
