DISCLOSURES
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency. While the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money while investing
in the fund.
Generally, higher potential returns involve greater risk and short-term volatility.
For example, small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging funds can experience
significant price fluctuation due to business risks and adverse political
developments. International (global) and foreign funds can experience price
fluctuation due to changing market conditions, currency values, and economic
and political climates. High-yield bond funds, which invest in bonds that have
lower ratings, typically experience price fluctuation and a greater risk of loss of
principal and income than when investing directly in U.S. government securities
such as U.S. Treasury bonds and bills, which are guaranteed by the government
for repayment of principal and interest if held to maturity.
Mortgage-related funds’ underlying mortgages are more likely to be prepaid
during periods of declining interest rates, which could hurt the fund’s share
price or yield, and may be prepaid more slowly during periods of rapidly rising
interest rates, which might lengthen the fund’s expected maturity. Investors
should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in the fund.
Fund shares are not insured and are not backed by the U.S. government, and
their value and yield will vary with market conditions. Investing in a singlesector fund involves greater risk and potential reward than investing in a more
diversified fund. International and global funds can experience significant price
fluctuation and returns due to business and currency risks as well as adverse
political climates. Investments in emerging markets involve greater risk, such as
increased volatility and potentially less liquidity.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current
performance may be higher or lower than the performance stated due
to recent market volatility. Past performance does not guarantee future
result. Investment values will fluctuate and there is no assurance that
the objective of any funds will be achieved. Mutual fund shares are
redeemable at the then current net asset value, which may be more or
less than their original cost. Please call 1-800-448-2542 for the most
recent month-end performance results.
Fees and expenses are only one of several factors that participants and beneficiaries
should consider when making investment decisions.
The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of a
participant's or beneficiary's retirement account; visit the Employee Benefit Security
Administration's website http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/401k_employee.html
for an example demonstrating the long-term effect of fees and expenses.
†The total annual operating expense of the investment for a one-year period expressed as
a dollar amount for a $1,000 investment assuming no returns.

the investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses and other

For funds with less than a full year of performance the returns are cumulative.
Returns reflect the deduction of fund expenses. There may be a quarterly
administration charge for investments in mutual funds, depending on the
contract.
Performance data prior to the inception date of the new class of funds is
hypothetical and reflects historical returns of an existing share class at net asset
value adjusted to reflect the additional 12B-1 fees relating to the new class of
funds. Mutual funds are classified according to Morningstar. There can be no
assurance that the funds will continue to achieve substantially similar
performance as they previously experienced. The investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. Data Source: Morningstar
Morningstar measures risk-adjusted returns. The overall rating is a weighted average
based on a fund’s three-, five- and 10-year star rating. The information contained

Morningstar calculates a Morningstar rating (based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted
return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance,
including the effects of sales charges), placing more emphasis on downward
variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10 percent of funds in
each category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, the next 35
percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars, and the bottom
10 percent receive one star. The fund was rated against U.S.-domiciled funds. Other
share classes may have different performance characteristics.
