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 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 will pay 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.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will attempt to manage the risk of loss

while still seeking to generate some growth by selecting investments from among

a broad range of asset classes. Managing the risk of loss does not mean

preventing losses, but rather managing the Fund in a manner intended to limit

the level of losses that the Fund could incur over any particular period. The

Fund's investments are expected to include short-term U.S. debt obligations and

bonds with a duration of less than five years, and, to a lesser extent, riskier

asset classes as detailed below, such as equities and non-investment grade

securities. The Fund may obtain its exposures to the asset classes by investing

directly in securities and other investments or indirectly through the use of

other pooled investment vehicles and derivative instruments, principally

futures, forwards, options and swaps. The asset classes used and the Fund's

allocations among asset classes will be determined based on SIMC's or the

Sub-Adviser's views of fundamental, technical or valuation measures. The Fund's

allocations among asset classes may be adjusted over short periods of time. At

any point in time, the Fund may be diversified across many asset classes or

concentrated in a limited number of asset classes.



The Fund uses a multi-manager approach under the general supervision of SIMC,

allocating its assets among one or more Sub-Advisers using different investment

strategies. SIMC may also directly manage a portion of the Fund's portfolio.



The Fund may allocate all or a portion of its assets using a "risk parity"

approach that seeks to balance anticipated drawdown risk (peak-to-trough decline

in asset value) across all capital market exposures in the Fund. This approach

may result in asset classes with lower perceived drawdown risk, e.g.

high-quality government bonds, having a greater notional allocation within the

Fund's portfolio than they would otherwise receive in a non-risk parity

approach. Notional allocation generally refers to the Fund's use of one or more

derivative contracts to obtain exposure to a potential gain or loss on the

market value of the instruments underlying the Fund's derivative contracts

(e.g., a security, basket of securities or index). The market value of such

underlying instruments generally exceeds the amount of cash or assets required

to establish or maintain the derivative contracts.



The Fund may further adjust asset allocations and capital market exposures based

on realized and expected measures of drawdown risk with the goal of managing the

Fund's total drawdown risk. This may result in the Fund increasing capital

market exposures during periods of perceived falling drawdown risk and

decreasing capital market exposures during periods of perceived rising drawdown

risk.



The Fund may invest in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred

stocks, convertible securities, warrants and of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers

(including emerging markets) of various market capitalizations and industries.



The Fund may invest in fixed income securities that are investment or

non-investment grade (also known as junk bonds), U.S.- or foreign-issued

(including emerging markets) and corporate- or government-issued. The Fund's

fixed income investments may include asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed

securities, corporate bonds and debentures, commercial paper, ETNs, money market

instruments, mortgage dollar rolls, repurchase and reverse repurchase

agreements, when issued/delayed delivery securities, zero coupon bonds,

obligations of foreign governments and obligations of supranational entities

issued or guaranteed by certain banks, as well as entities organized to

restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers. The Fund's fixed income

investments may also include U.S. Treasury obligations, obligations issued by

agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (including obligations not

guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury), such as obligations issued by U.S. Government

sponsored entities, and TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities. The

Fund may invest in fixed, variable and floating rate fixed income instruments.

The Fund's portfolio and the Fund's investments in particular fixed income

securities are not subject to any maturity or duration restrictions.



The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in bank loans, which are,

generally, non-investment grade floating rate instruments, in the form of

participations in the loans (participations) and assignments of all or a portion

of the loans from third parties (assignments).



In addition to direct investment in securities and other instruments, the Fund

may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated funds, including open-end funds, money

market funds, closed-end funds and ETFs. The Fund may also invest in REITs and

securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. real estate companies.



The Fund may also purchase or sell futures contracts, options, forward contracts

and swaps for return enhancement or hedging purposes. Futures contracts, forward

contracts, options and swaps may be used to synthetically obtain exposure to

securities or baskets of securities and to manage the Fund's interest rate

duration and yield curve exposure. These derivatives may also be used to

mitigate the Fund's overall level of risk and/or the Fund's risk to particular

types of securities or market segments. The Fund may purchase or sell futures

contracts on U.S. Government securities for return enhancement and hedging.

Interest rate swaps may be used to manage the Fund's yield spread sensitivity.

Securities index swaps may be used to manage the inflation-adjusted return of

the Fund. The Fund may buy credit default swaps in an attempt to manage credit

risk where the Fund has credit exposure to an issuer, and the Fund may sell

credit default swaps to more efficiently gain credit exposure to a security or

basket of securities.



The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.

The Sub-Adviser may also seek to enhance the Fund's return by actively managing

the Fund's foreign currency exposure. In managing the Fund's currency exposure,

the Sub-Adviser may buy and sell currencies (i.e., take long or short positions)

using futures and foreign currency forward contracts. The Fund may take long and

short positions in foreign currencies in excess of the value of the Fund's

assets denominated in a particular currency or when the Fund does not own assets

denominated in that currency. The Fund may also engage in currency transactions

in an attempt to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the currency

exchange market, to increase its exposure to a foreign currency or to shift

exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. In

managing the Fund's currency exposure for foreign securities, the Sub-Adviser

may buy and sell currencies for hedging or for speculative purposes.



Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently.
Principal Risks
While the Fund seeks to manage the risk of loss, this means only that the Fund

seeks to limit the level of losses that may be incurred over a particular period

of time. As such, the Fund may lose money, and the amount of losses could exceed

SIMC's or the Sub-Adviser's expectations. The success of the Fund's investment

strategy depends both on SIMC's selection of the Sub-Adviser(s) and allocation

of assets to such Sub-Adviser(s). The Sub-Adviser(s) may be incorrect in

assessing market trends or the value or growth capability of particular

securities or asset classes. In addition, the methodology by which SIMC

allocates the Fund's assets to the Sub-Adviser(s) may not achieve desired

results and may cause the Fund to lose money or underperform other comparable

mutual funds.



The Sub-Adviser(s) and any underlying funds in which it invests may apply any of

a variety of investment strategies and may invest in a broad range of asset

classes, securities and other investments to achieve those investment

strategies. The principal risks of using such investment strategies and making

investments in such asset classes, securities and other investments are set

forth below. Because an underlying fund's use of an investment strategy or

investment in an asset class, security or other investment is subject to the

same or similar risks as the Fund's use of such strategy or investment in such

asset class, security or other investment, the term "the Fund" in the paragraphs

below collectively refers to both the Fund and each underlying fund.



American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) Risk - ADRs are certificates evidencing

ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and

generally trade on an established market. ADRs are subject to many of the risks

associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other

things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements,

and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.



Asset-Backed Securities Risk - Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed

securities is dependent largely on cash flows generated by the assets backing

the securities and asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of any

security interest in the related assets.



Bank Loans Risk - With respect to bank loans, the Fund will assume the credit

risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation in

the loan. The Fund may also have difficulty disposing of bank loans because, in

certain cases, the market for such instruments is not highly liquid.



Below Investment Grade Securities Risk - Fixed income securities rated below

investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and

are more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for

repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative.



Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk - Corporate fixed income securities

respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well

as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual

issuers.



Credit Risk - The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a

contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial

obligation.



Currency Risk - Due to its active positions in currencies, the Fund will be

subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to,

among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to

intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational

entities or by the imposition of currency controls or other political

developments in the United States or abroad.



Derivatives Risk - The Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts,

options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and

liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described

below. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative

may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The Fund's

use of forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and

valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult

to value and/or may be valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each

of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount

invested in a derivative instrument.



Duration Risk - The longer-term securities in which the Fund may invest tend to

be more volatile than shorter-term securities. A portfolio with a longer average

portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a

portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration.



Equity Market Risk - The risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended

periods of time.



Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) Risk - The value of an ETN is subject to the credit

risk of the issuer. There may not be an active trading market available for some

ETNs. Additionally, trading of ETNs may be halted or delisted by the listing

exchange.



Extension Risk - The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of

a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.



Fixed Income Market Risk - The prices of the Fund's fixed income securities

respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as

to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including

governments and their agencies. In the case of foreign securities, price

fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events as well as

changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar.



Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk - The risk that non-U.S. securities may

be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and

economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory

and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to

emerging market countries since political turmoil and rapid changes in economic

conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.



Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk - The risks that (i) the governmental

entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able

to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due, due to factors such

as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other

national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt

securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt

rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is

no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in

whole or in part.



Income Risk - The possibility that the Fund's yield will decline due to falling

interest rates.



Inflation Protected Securities Risk - The value of inflation protected

securities, including TIPS, will typically fluctuate in response to changes in

"real" interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and

increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal

(or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In

addition, interest payments on inflation-indexed securities will generally vary

up or down along with the rate of inflation.



Interest Rate Risk - The risk that the Fund's yield will decline due to falling

interest rates. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of

fixed income securities in which the Fund invests to fall, while a decrease in

interest rates typically causes the value of such securities to rise.



Investment Company Risk - When the Fund invests in an investment company,

including closed-end funds and ETFs, in addition to directly bearing the

expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of

the investment company's expenses. Further, while the risks of owning shares of

an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying

investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or

different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments.

For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more

volatile than that of the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment

companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-

the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a

closed-end fund's share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing

to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund.



Leverage Risk - The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility

on the Fund's share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio

positions when it would not otherwise be advantageous to do so in order to

satisfy its obligations.



Liquidity Risk - The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible

to sell at the time and price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to

lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment

opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or

performance.



Market Risk - The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down,

sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an

industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.



Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk - Mortgage-backed securities are affected by,

among other things, interest rate changes and the possibility of prepayment of

the underlying mortgage loans. Mortgage backed securities are also subject to

the risk that underlying borrowers will be unable to meet their obligations.



Opportunity Risk - The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because

the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments.



Portfolio Turnover Risk - Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and

sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and

additional capital gains tax liabilities.



Prepayment Risk - The risk that, with declining interest rates, fixed income

securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than

expected, requiring the Fund to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest

rates.



Private Placements Risk - Investment in privately placed securities may be less

liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be

resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these

sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may

be considered the fair value of such securities. Further, companies whose

securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and

other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their

securities were publicly traded.



Real Estate Industry Risk - Securities of companies principally engaged in the

real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct

ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of

real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults

by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general

or local economic conditions.



REITs Risk - REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or

real estate-related loans. The Fund's investments in REITs are subject to the

risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, which are discussed

above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks

inherent in financing a limited number of properties.



Small and Medium Capitalization Risk - The small and medium capitalization

companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business

or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small

and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and

financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group.

Therefore, small and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than

those of larger companies. Small and medium capitalization stocks may be traded

over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.



U.S. Government Securities Risk - Although U.S. Government securities are

considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against

price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S.

Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed

solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the

agency's own resources.



Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
