The fund seeks to provide current income and modest capital appreciation.
Investment Strategy:The fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combines a greater percentage of fixed-income investments with a smaller percentage of stock investments. The fund has a target of, but is not limited to, an asset allocation of 75% Fixed Income Select Funds, 19% U.S. Equity Select Funds and 6% Non-U.S. Equity Select Fund.
Investment Suitability:This fund may be suitable for investors who have a short- to medium-time investment horizon, possess a relatively low tolerance for risk and want some exposure to the growth potential of the stock market tempered by a larger allocation to short-term, fixed-income securities. This fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings that on short duration holdings.

The principal risks of the Funds will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which they invest. You may directly invest in the Select Funds.
