Important Information
There are many important factors to consider when planning for retirement, including expected expenses, sources of income, and available assets. Before investing in a Retirement Blend Fund, weigh objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance. These funds invest in many underlying funds, which means that they are exposed to the risks of different areas of the market. Investors should note that the higher a fund’s allocation to stocks, the greater the risk.

Call 1-800-638-7780 to request a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus; each includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing.
The principal value of the Retirement Blend Funds is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate year an investor plans to retire (assumed to be age 65) and likely stop making new investments in the fund. If an investor plans to retire significantly earlier or later than age 65, the funds may not be an appropriate investment even if the investor is retiring on or near the target date. The funds’ allocations among a broad range of underlying stock and bond trusts will change over time. The funds emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a long-term retirement withdrawal horizon. The funds are not designed for a lump-sum redemption at the target date and do not guarantee a particular level of income. The funds maintain a substantial allocation to equities both prior to and after the target date, which can result in greater volatility over shorter time horizons.
