FUND DESCRIPTIONS:
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
Investment Policy Changes
      Overseas Equity Trust
In connection with Templeton’s appointment as the subadviser to the Overseas Equity Trust, effective January 15, 2010, the fund’s principal investment policies and risks are amended and restated as follows:
Investment Strategies: Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of a diversified mix of large established and medium-sized foreign companies located primarily in developed countries (outside of the U.S.) and, to a lesser extent, in emerging markets.
Equity securities generally entitle the holder to participate in a company’s general operating results. These include common stocks and preferred stocks. The fund also invests in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), which are certificates typically issued by a bank or trust company that give their holders the right to receive securities issued by a foreign or domestic company.
The subadviser’s investment philosophy is “bottom-up,” value-oriented, and long-term. In choosing equity investments, the subadviser will focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to its evaluation of the company’s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. A company’s historical value measure, including price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value, will also be considered.
The fund may be significantly affected by market developments, as described under “Additional Information about the Funds’ Principal Risks and Investment Policies” in the prospectus.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
    Active management risk
    Credit and counterparty risk
    Equity and securities risk
    Foreign securities risk
    Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions
    Initial public offering risk
    Issuer risk
    Liquidity risk
    Medium and small company risk
      All Cap Growth Trust
In connection with Jennison’s appointment as the subadviser to the All Cap Growth Trust, effective January 15, 2010, the fund’s principal investment policies and risks are amended and restated as follows:
Investment Strategies: Under normal market conditions, the fund invests its assets principally in common stocks of companies of all market capitalizations. The subadviser focuses on stocks of companies exhibiting long-term sustainable earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations.

5


 

      The subadviser follows a highly disciplined investment selection and management process that seeks to identify companies that show superior absolute and relative earnings growth and also are attractively valued. The subadviser looks for companies that experience some or all of the following: (i) above average revenue and earnings per share growth, (ii) strong market position, (iii) improving profitability and distinctive attributes such as unique marketing ability, (iv) strong research and development and productive new product flow; and (v) financial strength. Such companies generally trade at high prices relative to their current earnings. Earnings predictability and confidence in earnings forecasts are important parts of the selection process. The valuation of securities in which the fund invests historically has been more volatile than that of companies in the S&P 500 Index. Also, companies that have an earnings growth rate higher than that of the average S&P 500 company tend to reinvest their earnings rather than distribute them. Therefore, the fund is not likely to receive significant dividend income on its securities.
      In addition to common stocks, nonconvertible preferred stock and convertible securities, equity-related securities in which the fund invests include: (i) ADRs; (ii) warrants and rights that can be exercised to obtain stock; (iii) investments in various types of business ventures, including partnerships and joint ventures; (iv) real estate investment trusts (REITs); and (v) initial public offerings (IPOs) and similar securities. (Convertible securities are securities —like bonds, corporate notes and preferred stocks — that the fund can convert into the company’s common stock, cash value of common stock, or some other equity security).
      In addition to the principal strategies discussed above, the fund may use the following investment strategies to attempt to increase the fund’s return or protect its assets if market conditions warrant: The fund may make short sales of a security including short sales “against the box.” The fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign equity securities. (For purposes of this 20% limit, ADRs and other similar receipts or shares traded in U.S. markets are not considered to be foreign securities). The fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. governmental entities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, multi-class pass through securities and stripped mortgage backed securities. The fund may invest in fixed-income securities rated investment grade. These include corporate debt and other debt obligations of U.S. and foreign issuers. The fund may invest in obligations that are not rated, but that the subadviser believes are of comparable quality to these obligations. The fund may invest in repurchase agreements.
      The subadviser considers selling or reducing a stock position when, in the opinion of the subadviser, the stock has experienced a fundamental disappointment in earnings, it has reached an intermediate price objective and its outlook no longer seems sufficiently promising, a relatively more attractive stock emerges or the stock has experienced adverse price movement. The fund’s investment process may, at times, result in a higher than average portfolio turnover ratio and increased trading expenses.
      The fund may also be significantly affected by market developments, as described under “Additional Information about the Funds’ Principal Risks and Investment Policies” in the prospectus.
 
      Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
    Active management risk
    Credit and counterparty risk
    Equity securities risk
    Fixed-income securities risk
    Foreign securities risk
    Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions risk
    High portfolio turnover risk

6


 

    Initial public offerings risk
    Issuer risk
    Liquidity risk
    Medium and smaller company risk
    Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk
    Real estate securities risk
    Short sale risk
