Returns are for the period ending December 31, 2015. Average asset allocation investor performance results are calculated using data supplied by the Investment Company Institute. Investor returns are represented by the change in total mutual fund assets after excluding sales, redemptions and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, expenses and any other costs. After calculating investor returns in dollar terms, two percentages are calculated for the period examined: Total investor return rate and annualized investor return rate. Total return rate is determined by calculating the investor return dollars as a percentage of the net of the sales, redemptions and exchanges for each period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results and an investment cannot be made directly in an index. As with all investments, there are associated inherent risks, including loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
