Strategy. The fund invests mainly in fixed income investments, including U.S. and foreign (including emerging market) government obligations, corporate obligations and securitized debt instruments (such as mortgage-backed investments) of any credit quality. The fund also invests, to a lesser extent, in equity securities (growth or value stocks or both) of U.S. and foreign (including emerging market) companies of any size. The fund has a strategic, or typical, allocation between equity and fixed income investments. Using qualitative analysis and quantitative models and techniques, the Investment Manager adjusts portfolio allocations from time to time within a certain range to try to optimize the funds performance consistent with its goal.

The strategic allocation and the range of allowable allocation for the fund is shown below: Class Strategic Allocation Range Equity 27% 5-50% Fixed Income 73% 50-95% The Investment Manager may consider, among other factors, a companys valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position in its industry, projected future earnings, cash flows and dividends when deciding whether to buy or sell equity investments. The Investment Manager may also consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell fixed-income investments. The fund typically uses derivatives to a significant extent, such as futures, options, certain foreign currency transactions, warrants and interest rate and total return swap contracts, for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. The fund may also use derivatives and debt instruments with terms determined by reference to a particular commodity or to all or portions of a commodities index. The fund may invest directly or indirectly through its wholly-owned and controlled Subsidiary, which like the fund, is advised by the Investment Manager. The fund may invest no more than 25% of its assets in the Subsidiary. Currently, the fund does not expect to invest significantly in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity futures and swaps on commodity futures, but it may also invest in other commodity-related instruments (such as financial futures, option and swap contracts) or other asset classes (including through derivatives). Unlike the fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments. Unless indicated otherwise, references to the funds investments, investment exposures or risks include its indirect investments, investment exposures and risks through the Subsidiary.
