The performance data quoted represents past performance, and is no guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.
In addition to asset allocation risk, the fund is subject to the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of its underlying funds. For equity securities, these risks include market risk, company risk, foreign investment risks, growth investing risks, value investing risks, style risk, large-cap risk, small-cap/mid-cap risk, reorganization risk and real estate securities risk. For fixed-income securities, these risks include interest-rate risk, income volatility risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and the risks of inflation-indexed bonds. The fund’s overall risk level should gradually decline as the target allocation shifts more toward fixed income with the approach of the year 2045. For a more complete discussion of these and other risks, please consult the prospectus.
As with all mutual funds, the principal value of a Lifecycle Fund isn't guaranteed. Also, please note that the target date of the Lifecycle Fund is an approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing from the fund.
