Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
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. 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. Investors should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.
