The investment seeks conservation of capital, current income
and long-term growth of capital and income.
The fund uses a balanced approach to invest in a broad
range of securities, including common stocks and
investment-grade bonds. It also invests in securities issued
and guaranteed by the U.S. government and by federal
agencies and instrumentalities. In addition, the fund may
invest a portion of its assets in common stocks, most of
which have a history of paying dividends, bonds and other
securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States.

Moderate-allocation portfolios seek to provide both capital
appreciation and income by investing in three major areas:
stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold larger
positions in stocks than conservative-allocation portfolios.
These portfolios typically have 50% to 70% of assets in
equities and the remainder in fixed income and cash.
