The following information replaces certain information in the Prospectuses under
the heading "Management of the Portfolios - Portfolio Managers."

The management of, and investment decisions for, the Portfolios are made by the
Multi-Asset Solutions Team, comprised of senior portfolio managers. The
Multi-Asset Solutions Team relies heavily on the Adviser's growth, value and
fixed-income investment teams and, in turn, the fundamental research of the
Adviser's large internal research staff. No one person is principally
responsible for coordinating the Portfolios' investments.

The following table lists the persons within the Multi-Asset Solutions Team
with the most significant responsibility for day-to-day management of the
Portfolios, the length of time that each person has been jointly and primarily
responsible for the Portfolios, and each person's principal occupation during
the past five years:
