Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods (except where otherwise noted). The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. The figures reflect the expense limitation for the first year. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 42% of the average value of its portfolio. Principal Investment Strategies The Fund operates under a “fund of funds” structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 80% or more of its assets in underlying funds, including exchange traded funds (“underlying funds”). The Fund does not currently expect to invest in underlying funds advised by the adviser, although it may do so in the future. A significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in underlying funds that employ a passive investment style, i.e., index funds. The Fund’s largest allocation will be to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and foreign equity securities, including large-, medium- and small-cap equities and both growth and value equity securities. The foreign equity securities held by the underlying funds will be from issuers in both developed and emerging markets. A smaller allocation will be made to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and global fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and inflation-indexed bonds. The Fund will also employ an actively managed risk-management overlay (“protection sub-strategy”) using up to 20% of its net assets. The protection sub-strategy consists of using hedging instruments (short positions in exchanged-traded futures contracts) to manage overall portfolio volatility and to protect the majority of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Futures contracts can be purchased or sold by the Fund for less than their contract value, allowing an efficient use of Fund assets for the protection sub-strategy. “Volatility” in this context means variance in the Fund's investment returns. The adviser will seek to hedge currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts. The adviser selects individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes will have prices that are negatively correlated to the Fund’s equity exposure. The Fund will sell (short) futures contracts on these indices to decrease the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities based on the adviser's evaluation of market volatility and downside equity market risk. The short futures contracts increase in value as equity markets decline. The adviser will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts to manage the Fund's overall net risk level. The Fund's target volatility will adjust over time in relation to the target date. The protection sub-strategy would allow for more volatility of the Fund's returns the further the Fund is from the target date, but seeks to more tightly control the volatility of the Fund's returns as the investor reaches retirement and as the investor ages. Even in periods of low volatility in the equity markets, the adviser will continue to use the hedging techniques to preserve gains after favorable market conditions and reduce losses in adverse market conditions. The Fund’s investment in exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs will limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong, increasing markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund’s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%. The Fund is designed for investors planning to retire close to the year 2010 (target date). The target date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making new investments in the Fund. Before investing in the Fund, an investor should consider, in addition to age and retirement date, other factors such as the investor’s risk tolerance, personal circumstances, and complete financial situation. The adviser invests the Fund in underlying funds in accordance with an asset allocation between equity securities and fixed income securities. Over time, the asset allocation model will change according to a predetermined “glide path” shown in the chart below. As the glide path shows, the Fund’s asset mix becomes more conservative as time elapses. In addition, the Fund's target volatility of returns under the protection sub-strategy also becomes more conservative as time elapses. These features reflect the desire to gradually reduce investment risk and volatility both as the retirement date approaches, as well as through the retirement years in an effort to preserve capital during retirement. <center><img alt="chart" src="g460547g460547imge93ad3531.jpg"></img></center> The Fund’s current investment strategy, under normal circumstances, will be to invest at least 80% of its assets in underlying funds. Approximately 51% of these underlying funds will invest primarily in equity securities and 49% will invest primarily in fixed income securities. As part of the adviser’s protection sub-strategy, the remaining portion of the Fund’s net assets is expected to be invested in exchange-traded futures contracts, cash collateral to support these contracts and/or high-quality short-term money market investments. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities to be between 35% and 55%. After the Fund reaches its designated retirement year, it will continue to be managed according to an asset allocation model that becomes increasingly conservative over time, until approximately twenty years after retirement (landing date) when the Fund is expected to maintain a static allocation of approximately 25% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities. At the landing date, as a result of the protection sub-strategy, the Fund's net economic exposure to equities may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 25% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities at the landing date to be between 15% and 25%. On at least an annual basis, the adviser will reassess and make any necessary revisions in the Fund’s asset allocation model, including revising the asset class weightings in the model. At that time, the level of exchange-traded futures held will be adjusted for any changes to the asset allocation model. This will ensure that the Fund's overall risk level remains aligned with the protection sub-strategy and the current level of the adviser’s assessment of overall market risk and general economic climate. The maximum amount of change to the model’s asset class allocations that would be made in one year is plus or minus 10%. On a quarterly basis, the adviser will evaluate the need to add, remove and/or re-weight the underlying funds in the Fund’s asset allocation model. The adviser will also periodically rebalance the weightings in the underlying funds to the asset allocation model. In general, the adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation model and will not attempt to time the market. The amount of exchange-traded futures in the Fund will fluctuate daily based upon market conditions. During extreme market conditions, exchange-traded futures could reduce or even eliminate the Fund’s equity exposure that is shown in the chart above. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), and as a result may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. However, through the underlying funds, the Fund owns a diversified mix of equity securities (stocks) and fixed income securities (bonds). Example You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Class A shares of eligible funds; more information about these and other discounts is available in the “Classes of Fund Shares” section on page 12 of the Fund’s Prospectus or from your financial advisor. Unless you are eligible for a waiver, if you sell (redeem) your Class C shares during the first year, you will pay a CDSC of 0.50%. This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods (except where otherwise noted). The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. The figures reflect the expense limitation for the first year. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. 50000 0.42 679 185 85 1833 1406 1264 2966 2645 2427 5705 5617 5263 135 1406 Example 2645 5617 This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. The figures reflect the expense limitation for the first year. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio. 679 185 85 2046 1629 1491 Principal Investment Strategies 3355 3053 2845 6393 6326 6014 135 1629 3053 6326 Portfolio Turnover The Fund operates under a “fund of funds” structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 80% or more of its assets in underlying funds, including exchange traded funds (“underlying funds”). The Fund does not currently expect to invest in underlying funds advised by the adviser, although it may do so in the future. A significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in underlying funds that employ a passive investment style, i.e., index funds. The Fund's largest allocation will be to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and foreign equity securities, including large-, medium- and small-cap equities and both growth and value equity securities. The foreign equity securities held by the underlying funds will be from issuers in both developed and emerging markets. A smaller allocation will be made to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and global fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and inflation-indexed bonds. The Fund will also employ an actively managed risk-management overlay (“protection sub-strategy”) using up to 20% of its net assets. The protection sub-strategy consists of using hedging instruments (short positions in exchanged-traded futures contracts) to manage overall portfolio volatility and to protect the majority of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Futures contracts can be purchased or sold by the Fund for less than their contract value, allowing an efficient use of Fund assets for the protection sub-strategy. “Volatility” in this context means variance in the Fund's investment returns. The adviser will seek to hedge currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts. The adviser selects individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes will have prices that are negatively correlated to the Fund’s equity exposure. The Fund will sell (short) futures contracts on these indices to decrease the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities based on the adviser's evaluation of market volatility and downside equity market risk. The short futures contracts increase in value as equity markets decline. The adviser will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts to manage the Fund's overall net risk level. The Fund's target volatility will adjust over time in relation to the target date. The protection sub-strategy would allow for more volatility of the Fund's returns the further the Fund is from the target date, but seeks to more tightly control the volatility of the Fund's returns as the investor reaches retirement and as the investor ages. Even in periods of low volatility in the equity markets, the adviser will continue to use the hedging techniques to preserve gains after favorable market conditions and reduce losses in adverse market conditions. The Fund’s investment in exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs will limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong, increasing markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund’s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%. The Fund is designed for investors planning to retire close to the year 2020 (target date). The target date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making new investments in the Fund. Before investing in the Fund, an investor should consider, in addition to age and retirement date, other factors such as the investor’s risk tolerance, personal circumstances, and complete financial situation. The adviser invests the Fund in underlying funds in accordance with an asset allocation between equity securities and fixed income securities. Over time, the asset allocation model will change according to a predetermined “glide path” shown in the chart below. As the glide path shows, the Fund’s asset mix becomes more conservative as time elapses. In addition, the Fund's target volatility of returns under the protection sub-strategy also becomes more conservative as time elapses. These features reflect the desire to gradually reduce investment risk and volatility both as the retirement date approaches, as well as through the retirement years in an effort to preserve capital during retirement. <center><img alt="chart" src="g460547g460547img55fbfeab1.jpg"></img></center> The Fund’s current investment strategy, under normal circumstances, will be to invest at least 80% of its assets in underlying funds. Approximately 60% of these underlying funds will invest primarily in equity securities and 40% will invest primarily in fixed income securities. At the target date, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets are anticipated to be invested in underlying funds. Approximately 55% of these assets at the target date will be in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and 45% in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities. As part of the adviser’s protection sub-strategy, the portion of the Fund not invested in underlying funds will be invested in exchange-traded futures contracts, cash collateral to support these contracts and/or high-quality short-term money market investments. The Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 55% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date to be between 35% and 55%. After the Fund reaches its designated retirement year, it will continue to be managed according to an asset allocation model that becomes increasingly conservative over time, until approximately twenty years after retirement (landing date) when the Fund is expected to maintain a static allocation of approximately 25% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities. At the landing date, as a result of the protection sub-strategy, the Fund's net economic exposure to equities may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 25% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities at the landing date to be between 15% and 25%. On at least an annual basis, the adviser will reassess and make any necessary revisions in the Fund’s asset allocation model, including revising the asset class weightings in the model. At that time, the level of exchange-traded futures held will be adjusted for any changes to the asset allocation model. This will ensure that the Fund's overall risk level remains aligned with the protection sub-strategy and the current level of the adviser’s assessment of overall market risk and general economic climate. The maximum amount of change to the model’s asset class allocations that would be made in one year is plus or minus 10%. On a quarterly basis, the adviser will evaluate the need to add, remove and/or re-weight the underlying funds in the Fund’s asset allocation model. The adviser will also periodically rebalance the weightings in the underlying funds to the asset allocation model. In general, the adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation model and will not attempt to time the market. The amount of exchange-traded futures in the Fund will fluctuate daily based upon market conditions. During extreme market conditions, exchange-traded futures could reduce or even eliminate the Fund’s equity exposure that is shown in the chart above. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), and as a result may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund.

These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.

However, through the underlying funds, the Fund owns a diversified mix of equity securities (stocks) and fixed income securities (bonds). Principal Risks All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. Because the Fund invests its assets in shares of underlying funds, the Fund is exposed to the same investments as those made by the underlying funds. By investing in the Fund, therefore, you indirectly assume the same types of risks as investing directly in the underlying funds. The Fund's investment performance is affected by each underlying fund's investment performance, and the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective depends, in large part, on each underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective. The following risks reflect the Fund's principal risks, which include the underlying funds' principal risks.<ul><li type = "square">Market Risk. The value of portfolio securities may decline. As a result, your investment in a fund may decline in value and you could lose money.</li><li type = "square">Asset Allocation Risk. With an asset allocation strategy, the amount invested in various asset classes of securities may change over time. Asset allocation risk could result in an allocation to an underperforming asset class.</li><li type = "square">Passive Management Risk. Index funds invest in the securities of an index rather than actively selecting among securities. With an indexing strategy there is no attempt to manage volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term period of poor investment performance.</li><li type = "square">Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their full value, and may even go down in price.</li><li type = "square">Growth Stocks Risk. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.</li><li type = "square">Small and Medium-Cap Companies Risk. The value of securities issued by small and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies.</li><li type = "square">Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e., debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities. A fund with a longer average portfolio maturity or duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio maturity or duration.</li><li type = "square">Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt obligation will be unable or unwilling to make interest or principal payments on time. Credit risk is often gauged by “credit ratings” assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). A decrease in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decline in the value of the issuer’s debt obligations.</li><li type = "square">Call Risk. Call risk is the risk that a bond issuer will redeem its callable bonds before they mature. Call risk is greater during periods of falling interest rates because the bond issuer can call the debt and reissue the debt at a lower rate.</li><li type = "square">Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities (commercial and residential) may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of falling interest rates, underlying mortgages may be paid early, lowering the potential total return (pre-payment risk). During periods of rising interest rates, the rate at which the underlying mortgages are pre-paid may slow unexpectedly, causing the maturity of the mortgage-backed securities to increase and their value to decline (maturity extension risk).</li><li type = "square">U.S. Treasury Risk. Securities backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.</li><li type = "square">Inflation Indexed Bond Risk. The value of inflation-indexed bonds generally changes in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e., non-inflation adjusted interest rates) and the rate of inflation. If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward and the interest payable will be reduced. The adjusted principal value of an inflation-related bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, the value of inflation indexed bonds may decrease. Inflation-indexed securities may not be protected from short-term increases in inflation.</li><li type = "square">Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities have additional risks that are not present when investing in U.S. securities. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Additionally, foreign stocks include the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions. Investing in foreign securities may involve risks resulting from the reduced availability of public information concerning issuers. Foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than comparable investments in U.S. issuers.</li><li type = "square">Emerging Markets Risk. Companies located in emerging markets tend to be less liquid, have more volatile prices, and have significant potential for loss in comparison to investments in developed markets.</li><li type = "square">Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates.</li><li type = "square">Geographic Concentration Risk. Geographic concentration risk is the risk that the market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions in the specific countries or regions in which a fund concentrates its investments could be more volatile than those of more geographically-diversified funds.</li><li type = "square">Futures Risk. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may be illiquid. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. Losses on futures contracts may exceed the amount invested.</li><li type = "square"> Hedging Risk. Futures contracts held in short positions may not provide an effective hedge of the underlying securities or indices because changes in the prices of futures contracts may not track those of the securities or indices they are intended to hedge.</li><li type = "square">Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although lack of liquidity in ETF shares could result in the price of the ETF being more volatile.</li><li type = "square">Non-Diversification Risk. When a fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. Therefore, the fund’s value may decrease because of a single investment or a small number of investments.</li></ul> All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk.

If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. Because the Fund invests its assets in shares of underlying funds, the Fund is exposed to the same investments as those made by the underlying funds. By investing in the Fund, therefore, you indirectly assume the same types of risks as investing directly in the underlying funds. The Fund's investment performance is affected by each underlying fund's investment performance, and the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective depends, in large part, on each underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective. The following risks reflect the Fund's principal risks, which include the underlying funds' principal risks.<ul><li type = "square">Market Risk. The value of portfolio securities may decline. As a result, your investment in a fund may decline in value and you could lose money.</li><li type = "square">Asset Allocation Risk. With an asset allocation strategy, the amount invested in various asset classes of securities may change over time. Asset allocation risk could result in an allocation to an underperforming asset class. </li><li type = "square">Passive Management Risk. Index funds invest in the securities of an index rather than actively selecting among securities. With an indexing strategy there is no attempt to manage volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term period of poor investment performance. </li><li type = "square">Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their full value, and may even go down in price. </li><li type = "square">Growth Stocks Risk. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.</li><li type = "square">Small and Medium-Cap Companies Risk. The value of securities issued by small and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies.</li><li type = "square">Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e., debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities. A fund with a longer average portfolio maturity or duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio maturity or duration.</li><li type = "square">Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt obligation will be unable or unwilling to make interest or principal payments on time. Credit risk is often gauged by “credit ratings” assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). A decrease in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decline in the value of the issuer’s debt obligations.</li><li type = "square">Call Risk. Call risk is the risk that a bond issuer will redeem its callable bonds before they mature. Call risk is greater during periods of falling interest rates because the bond issuer can call the debt and reissue the debt at a lower rate.</li><li type = "square">Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities (commercial and residential) may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of falling interest rates, underlying mortgages may be paid early, lowering the potential total return (pre-payment risk). During periods of rising interest rates, the rate at which the underlying mortgages are pre-paid may slow unexpectedly, causing the maturity of the mortgage-backed securities to increase and their value to decline (maturity extension risk).</li><li type = "square">U.S. Treasury Risk. Securities backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.</li><li type = "square">Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities have additional risks that are not present when investing in U.S. securities. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Additionally, foreign stocks include the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions. Investing in foreign securities may involve risks resulting from the reduced availability of public information concerning issuers. Foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than comparable investments in U.S. issuers.</li><li type = "square">Emerging Markets Risk. Companies located in emerging markets tend to be less liquid, have more volatile prices, and have significant potential for loss in comparison to investments in developed markets.</li><li type = "square">Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates.</li><li type = "square">Geographic Concentration Risk. Geographic concentration risk is the risk that the market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions in the specific countries or regions in which a fund concentrates its investments could be more volatile than those of more geographically-diversified funds.</li><li type = "square">Futures Risk. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may be illiquid. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. Losses on futures contracts may exceed the amount invested.</li><li type = "square">Hedging Risk. Futures contracts held in short positions may not provide an effective hedge of the underlying securities or indices because changes in the prices of futures contracts may not track those of the securities or indices they are intended to hedge.</li><li type = "square">Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although lack of liquidity in ETF shares could result in the price of the ETF being more volatile.</li><li type = "square">Non-Diversification Risk. When a fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. Therefore, the fund’s value may decrease because of a single investment or a small number of investments.</li></ul> The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.29 with a secondary focus on capital appreciation. This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods (except where otherwise noted). The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. The figures reflect the expense limitation for the first year. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than this example. 677 2295 3800 7117 133 1891 3518 7073 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund operates under a “fund of funds” structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 80% or more of its assets in underlying funds, including exchange traded funds (“underlying funds”). The Fund does not currently expect to invest in underlying funds advised by the adviser, although it may do so in the future. A significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in underlying funds that employ a passive investment style, i.e., index funds. The Fund’s largest allocation will be to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and foreign equity securities, including large-, medium- and small-cap equities and both growth and value equity securities. The foreign equity securities held by the underlying funds will be from issuers in both developed and emerging markets. A significantly smaller allocation will be made to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and global fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed bonds. The Fund will also employ an actively managed risk-management overlay (“protection sub-strategy”) using up to 20% of its net assets. The protection sub-strategy consists of using hedging instruments (short positions in exchanged-traded futures contracts) to manage overall portfolio volatility and to protect the majority of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Futures contracts can be purchased or sold by the Fund for less than their contract value, allowing an efficient use of Fund assets for the protection sub-strategy. “Volatility” in this context means variance in the Fund's investment returns. The adviser will seek to hedge currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts. The adviser selects individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes will have prices that are negatively correlated to the Fund’s equity exposure. The Fund will sell (short) futures contracts on these indices to decrease the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities based on the adviser's evaluation of market volatility and downside equity market risk. The short futures contracts increase in value as equity markets decline. The adviser will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts to manage the Fund's overall net risk level. The Fund's target volatility will adjust over time in relation to the target date. The protection sub-strategy would allow for more volatility of the Fund's returns the further the Fund is from the target date, but seeks to more tightly control the volatility of the Fund's returns as the investor reaches retirement and as the investor ages. Even in periods of low volatility in the equity markets, the adviser will continue to use the hedging techniques to preserve gains after favorable market conditions and reduce losses in adverse market conditions. The Fund’s investment in exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs will limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong, increasing markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund’s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%. The Fund is designed for investors planning to retire close to the year 2040 (target date). The target date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making new investments in the Fund. Before investing in the Fund, an investor should consider, in addition to age and retirement date, other factors such as the investor’s risk tolerance, personal circumstances, and complete financial situation. The adviser invests the Fund in underlying funds in accordance with an asset allocation between equity securities and fixed income securities. Over time, the asset allocation model will change according to a predetermined “glide path” shown in the chart below. As the glide path shows, the Fund’s asset mix becomes more conservative as time elapses. In addition, the Fund's target volatility of returns under the protection sub-strategy also becomes more conservative as time elapses. These features reflect the desire to gradually reduce investment risk and volatility both as the retirement date approaches, as well as through the retirement years in an effort to preserve capital during retirement. <center><img alt="chart" src="g460547g460547img54161a001.jpg"></img></center> The Fund’s current investment strategy, under normal circumstances, will be to invest at least 80% of its assets in underlying funds. Approximately 81% of these underlying funds will invest primarily in equity securities and 19% will invest primarily in fixed income securities. At the target date, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets are anticipated to be invested in underlying funds. Approximately 55% of these assets at the target date will be in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and 45% in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities. As part of the adviser’s protection sub-strategy, the portion of the Fund not invested in underlying funds will be invested in exchange-traded futures contracts, cash collateral to support these contracts and/or high-quality short-term money market investments. The Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 55% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date to be between 35% and 55%. After the Fund reaches its designated retirement year, it will continue to be managed according to an asset allocation model that becomes increasingly conservative over time, until approximately twenty years after retirement (landing date) when the Fund is expected to maintain a static allocation of approximately 25% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities. At the landing date, as a result of the protection sub-strategy, the Fund's net economic exposure to equities may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 25% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities at the landing date to be between 15% and 25%. On at least an annual basis, the adviser will reassess and make any necessary revisions in the Fund’s asset allocation model, including revising the asset class weightings in the model. At that time, the level of exchange-traded futures held will be adjusted for any changes to the asset allocation model. This will ensure that the Fund's overall risk level remains aligned with the protection sub-strategy and the current level of the adviser’s assessment of overall market risk and general economic climate. The maximum amount of change to the model’s asset class allocations that would be made in one year is plus or minus 10%. On a quarterly basis, the adviser will evaluate the need to add, remove and/or re-weight the underlying funds in the Fund’s asset allocation model. The adviser will also periodically rebalance the weightings in the underlying funds to the asset allocation model. In general, the adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation model and will not attempt to time the market. The amount of exchange-traded futures in the Fund will fluctuate daily based upon market conditions. During extreme market conditions, exchange-traded futures could reduce or even eliminate the Fund’s equity exposure that is shown in the chart above. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), and as a result may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. However, through the underlying funds, the Fund owns a diversified mix of equity securities (stocks) and fixed income securities (bonds). Principal Risks 183 83 All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. Because the Fund invests its assets in shares of underlying funds, the Fund is exposed to the same investments as those made by the underlying funds. By investing in the Fund, therefore, you indirectly assume the same types of risks as investing directly in the underlying funds. The Fund's investment performance is affected by each underlying fund's investment performance, and the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective depends, in large part, on each underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective. The following risks reflect the Fund's principal risks, which include the underlying funds' principal risks.<ul><li type = "square">Market Risk. The value of portfolio securities may decline. As a result, your investment in a fund may decline in value and you could lose money.</li><li type = "square">Asset Allocation Risk. With an asset allocation strategy, the amount invested in various asset classes of securities may change over time. Asset allocation risk could result in an allocation to an underperforming asset class.</li><li type = "square">Passive Management Risk. Index funds invest in the securities of an index rather than actively selecting among securities. With an indexing strategy there is no attempt to manage volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term period of poor investment performance.</li><li type = "square">Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their full value, and may even go down in price.</li><li type = "square">Growth Stocks Risk. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.</li><li type = "square">Small and Medium-Cap Companies Risk. The value of securities issued by small and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies.</li><li type = "square">Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e., debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities. A fund with a longer average portfolio maturity or duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio maturity or duration.</li><li type = "square">Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt obligation will be unable or unwilling to make interest or principal payments on time. Credit risk is often gauged by “credit ratings” assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). A decrease in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decline in the value of the issuer’s debt obligations.</li><li type = "square">Call Risk. Call risk is the risk that a bond issuer will redeem its callable bonds before they mature. Call risk is greater during periods of falling interest rates because the bond issuer can call the debt and reissue the debt at a lower rate.</li><li type = "square">Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities (commercial and residential) may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of falling interest rates, underlying mortgages may be paid early, lowering the potential total return (pre-payment risk). During periods of rising interest rates, the rate at which the underlying mortgages are pre-paid may slow unexpectedly, causing the maturity of the mortgage-backed securities to increase and their value to decline (maturity extension risk).</li><li type = "square">Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities have additional risks that are not present when investing in U.S. securities. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Additionally, foreign stocks include the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions. Investing in foreign securities may involve risks resulting from the reduced availability of public information concerning issuers. Foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than comparable investments in U.S. issuers.</li><li type = "square">Emerging Markets Risk. Companies located in emerging markets tend to be less liquid, have more volatile prices, and have significant potential for loss in comparison to investments in developed markets.</li><li type = "square">Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates.</li><li type = "square">Geographic Concentration Risk. Geographic concentration risk is the risk that the market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions in the specific countries or regions in which a fund concentrates its investments could be more volatile than those of more geographically-diversified funds.</li><li type = "square">Futures Risk. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may be illiquid. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. Losses on futures contracts may exceed the amount invested.</li><li type = "square">Hedging Risk. Futures contracts held in short positions may not provide an effective hedge of the underlying securities or indices because changes in the prices of futures contracts may not track those of the securities or indices they are intended to hedge.</li><li type = "square">Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although lack of liquidity in ETF shares could result in the price of the ETF being more volatile. </li><li type = "square"> Non-Diversification Risk. When a fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. Therefore, the fund’s value may decrease because of a single investment or a small number of investments.</li></ul> 1891 1757 3518 3323 7073 6806 <ul><li type = "square"> Non-Diversification Risk. When a fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. Therefore, the fund’s value may decrease because of a single investment or a small number of investments.</li></ul> Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. Fund Performance The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of choosing to invest in the Fund. The information shows: (a) how the Fund's Class A shares varied during the year; and (b) how the Fund's average annual returns for the one year and lifetime periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Information also has been provided for the PresidentialSM Protected Profile 2040 Composite, an unmanaged index compiled by the adviser, which is currently constructed as follows: 18% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 1% Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index, 29% MSCI EAFE Index (net dividends), 3% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends) and 49% Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Performance for the Fund is updated daily, monthly, and quarterly and may be obtained at: www.lfg.com/presidential. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio. The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of choosing to invest in the Fund. The information shows: (a) how the Fund's Class A shares varied during the year; and (b) how the Fund's average annual returns for the one year and lifetime periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Principal Investment Strategies The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. www.lfg.com/presidential Annual Total Returns The Fund operates under a “fund of funds” structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 80% or more of its assets in underlying funds, including exchange traded funds (“underlying funds”). The Fund does not currently expect to invest in underlying funds advised by the adviser, although it may do so in the future. A significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in underlying funds that employ a passive investment style, i.e., index funds. The Fund’s largest allocation will be to underlying funds that primarily invest in domestic and foreign equity securities, including large-, medium- and small-cap equities and both growth and value equity securities. The foreign equity securities held by the underlying funds will be from issuers in both developed and emerging markets. The Fund will also employ an actively managed risk-management overlay (“protection sub-strategy”) using up to 20% of its net assets. The protection sub-strategy consists of using hedging instruments (short positions in exchanged-traded futures contracts) to manage overall portfolio volatility and to protect the majority of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Futures contracts can be purchased or sold by the Fund for less than their contract value, allowing an efficient use of Fund assets for the protection sub-strategy. “Volatility” in this context means variance in the Fund's investment returns. The adviser will seek to hedge currency risk involved in foreign futures contracts. The adviser selects individual futures contracts on equity indices of domestic and foreign markets that it believes will have prices that are negatively correlated to the Fund’s equity exposure. The Fund will sell (short) futures contracts on these indices to decrease the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities based on the adviser's evaluation of market volatility and downside equity market risk. The short futures contracts increase in value as equity markets decline. The adviser will regularly adjust the level of exchange-traded futures contracts to manage the Fund's overall net risk level. The Fund's target volatility will adjust over time in relation to the target date. The protection sub-strategy would allow for more volatility of the Fund's returns the further the Fund is from the target date, but seeks to more tightly control the volatility of the Fund's returns as the investor reaches retirement and as the investor ages. Even in periods of low volatility in the equity markets, the adviser will continue to use the hedging techniques to preserve gains after favorable market conditions and reduce losses in adverse market conditions. The Fund’s investment in exchange-traded futures and their resulting costs will limit the upside participation of the Fund in strong, increasing markets relative to unhedged funds. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Fund’s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%. The Fund is designed for investors planning to retire close to the year 2050 (target date). The target date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making new investments in the Fund. Before investing in the Fund, an investor should consider, in addition to age and retirement date, other factors such as the investor’s risk tolerance, personal circumstances, and complete financial situation. The adviser invests the Fund in underlying funds in accordance with an asset allocation between equity securities and fixed income securities. Over time, the asset allocation model will change according to a predetermined “glide path” shown in the chart below. As the glide path shows, the Fund’s asset mix becomes more conservative as time elapses. In addition, the Fund's target volatility of returns under the protection sub-strategy also becomes more conservative as time elapses. These features reflect the desire to gradually reduce investment risk and volatility both as the retirement date approaches, as well as through the retirement years in an effort to preserve capital during retirement. <center><img alt="chart" src="g460547g460547img451b70231.jpg"></img></center> The Fund’s current investment strategy, under normal circumstances, will be to invest at least 80% of its assets in underlying funds. Approximately 95% of these underlying funds will invest primarily in equity securities and 5% will invest primarily in fixed income securities. At the target date, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets are anticipated to be invested in underlying funds. Approximately 55% of these assets at the target date will be in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and 45% in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities. As part of the adviser’s protection sub-strategy, the portion of the Fund not invested in underlying funds will be invested in exchange-traded futures contracts, cash collateral to support these contracts and/or high-quality short-term money market investments. The Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 55% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund’s aggregate economic exposure to equities at the target date to be between 35% and 55%. After the Fund reaches its designated retirement year, it will continue to be managed according to an asset allocation model that becomes increasingly conservative over time, until approximately twenty years after retirement (landing date) when the Fund is expected to maintain a static allocation of approximately 25% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities. At the landing date, as a result of the protection sub-strategy, the Fund's net economic exposure to equities may vary between a low of 0% in extreme market conditions and a high of 25% in more benign markets. Under normal market conditions, the adviser expects the Fund's aggregate economic exposure to equities at the landing date to be between 15% and 25%. On at least an annual basis, the adviser will reassess and make any necessary revisions in the Fund’s asset allocation model, including revising the asset class weightings in the model. At that time, the level of exchange-traded futures held will be adjusted for any changes to the asset allocation model. This will ensure that the Fund's overall risk level remains aligned with the protection sub-strategy and the current level of the adviser’s assessment of overall market risk and general economic climate. The maximum amount of change to the model’s asset class allocations that would be made in one year is plus or minus 10%. On a quarterly basis, the adviser will evaluate the need to add, remove and/or re-weight the underlying funds in the Fund’s asset allocation model. The adviser will also periodically rebalance the weightings in the underlying funds to the asset allocation model. In general, the adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation model and will not attempt to time the market. The amount of exchange-traded futures in the Fund will fluctuate daily based upon market conditions. During extreme market conditions, exchange-traded futures could reduce or even eliminate the Fund’s equity exposure that is shown in the chart above. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), and as a result may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. However, through the underlying funds, the Fund owns a diversified mix of equity securities (stocks) and fixed income securities (bonds).
