category are based on the options’ Morningstar categories as of the date indicated. There may be a number of funds in each category and each may have a significantly different risk profile as compared to other funds within that category as well as compared to funds in other categories on the spectrum. Morningstar categories are based on a fund’s style as measured by its underlying portfolio holdings over the past three years and may change at any time. These style calculations do not represent the investment options’ objectives and do not predict the investment options’ future styles. Investment options are listed in alphabetical order within each investment category. Risk associated with the investment options can vary significantly within each particular investment category and the relative risk of categories may change under certain economic conditions. For a more complete discussion of risk associated with the mutual fund options, please read the prospectuses before making your investment decisions. The spectrum does not represent actual or implied performance.
Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.
In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
