Example
The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
Service Shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Service Shares of the Fund for
the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of
those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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 427.36%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in
fixed income securities.

The Fund will primarily invest in fixed income securities that are rated
investment grade or better (i.e., rated in one of the four highest rating
categories by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO")
or determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund's sub-advisor if the
security is unrated). The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests may
have maturities of any length.
  
The Fund's portfolio is constructed by combining the investment styles and
strategies of multiple sub-advisors.  Each sub-advisor uses its own proprietary
research and securities selection processes to manage its allocated portion of
the Fund's assets.  The Fund is designed to allow managers to invest in the core
sectors of the U.S. domestic fixed income market (as defined by the Fund's
benchmark index) while seeking to maintain the Fund's duration within a
relatively close range to the duration of the Fund's benchmark index. Duration
is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a debt security (or a portfolio
of debt securities) to changes in interest rates. The prices of debt securities
with shorter durations generally will be less affected by changes in interest
rates than the prices of debt securities with longer durations.

While the Fund will primarily invest in fixed income securities that are rated
investment grade, the Fund may, at times, hold debt securities that are rated
below investment grade as a result of downgrades in the rating of the securities
subsequent to their purchase by the Fund.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of
significant market volatility. There is the risk that you could lose all or a
portion of the money you have invested in the Fund. The following risks could
affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

Management Risk: An investment or allocation strategy used by the Advisor or a
sub-advisor may fail to produce the intended results.

Market Risk: The value of the Fund's investments and the net asset values of the
shares of the Fund will fluctuate in response to various market and economic
factors related to the equity and fixed income markets as well as the financial
condition and prospects of companies or issuers in which the Fund invests.

Interest Rate Risk: The market value of fixed income securities will fluctuate
with changes in interest rates. For example, when interest rates rise, the
market value of fixed income securities declines.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed
securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the borrower
will prepay some or all of the principal owed to the issuer. If that happens,
the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a less
attractive security.

Credit Risk: Individual issues of fixed income securities may be subject to the
credit risk of the issuer. The issuer of a fixed income security may experience
financial problems, causing it to be unable to meet its payment obligations.

U.S. Government Agency Obligations Risk: Government agency obligations have
different levels of credit support and, therefore, different degrees of credit
risk. Some securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, but
others are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The U.S.
Department of the Treasury has the authority to provide financial support to
these debt obligations, but no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government
will do so.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be
difficult or impossible to buy or sell at the time and price that a Fund would
like to buy or sell the security.

Maturity Risk: The Fund may invest in fixed income securities with a range of
maturities. Generally, the longer a security's maturity, the greater the risk
that interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value of the security.

Portfolio Turnover Risk: Depending on market and other conditions, the Fund may
experience high portfolio turnover, which may result in higher brokerage
commissions and transactions costs, as well as higher taxes.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal
marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local
taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from
those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as
401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts because such accounts are only
subject to taxes upon withdrawal.
