Investing in the Funds involves risk including loss of principal.
The Income Fund is a non-diversified mutual fund, which means that the Income Fund invests in a smaller number of securities when compared to more diversified funds. This strategy exposes the Income Fund and its shareholders to greater risk of loss from adverse developments affecting portfolio companies. The Income Fund’s investments are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a security will decline because of a change in general interest rates. Investments subject to interest rate risk will usually decrease in value when interest rates rise and rise in value when interest rates decline. Also, securities with long maturities typically experience a more pronounced change in value when interest rates change. Debt securities are subject to credit risk (potential default by the issuer). The Income Fund may invest without limit in lower-rated securities. Compared to higher-rated fixed income securities, lower-rated debt may entail greater risk of default and market volatility.
The Allocation Fund is a non-diversified mutual fund, which means that the Allocation Fund invests in a smaller number of securities when compared to more diversified funds. This strategy exposes the Allocation Fund and its shareholders to greater risk of loss from adverse developments affecting portfolio companies. The Allocation Fund may invest in lower-rated securities, which may have greater market risk. The allocation of investments among the different asset classes, such as equity or fixed-income asset classes, may have a more significant effect on The Allocation Fund’s net asset value when one of these classes is performing more poorly than others.
