The fund's investment objective is to provide total return with a low to moderate correlation to traditional financial market indices.
Strategy
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal conditions, in derivatives and other financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to correspond to U.S. and international fixed income, equity and commodity markets.
The map illustrates areas in which the portfolio typically invests, not necessarily within a limited period of time. This portfolio is not classified with regard to one primary market capitalization.
Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed, returns would have been lower.
Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares.
Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV) and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance shown at NAV does not include sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.
The contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to zero at the beginning of the seventh year. Performance shown at NAV does not include sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.
Class R share returns do not include a 0.75% CDSC that may be imposed on a total redemption of retirement plan assets within the first year. The Class R shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Class R shares are available only to certain retirement plans and IRAs. Please see theprospectusfor more information.
No contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) will be imposed on redemptions of Class C shares following one year from the date shares were purchased. Performance shown at NAV does not include sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.
Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Class Y shares are closed to most investors. Please see the prospectus for more details.
The Institutional Class shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV.

The fund may use derivatives as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge in an effort to reduce exposure to risks. Use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or more traditional instruments. Derivatives may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and are subject to counterparty risk — the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the fund. A fund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested.
The fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as leverage. Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value (both positive and negative) of the portfolio's securities.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rate rise and vice versa.
Credit risk is the risk of loss on an investment due to the deterioration of an issuer's financial health. Such a deterioration of financial health may result in a reduction of the credit rating of the issuer's securities and may lead to the issuer's inability to honor its contractual obligations, including making timely payment of interest and principal.
Foreign and developing markets securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity, and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
The fund or the subsidiary may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments that may be subject to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
The fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the subsidiary's investments. The subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and may not be subject to all the investor protections under the Act. Accordingly, the fund will not have all the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies.
The fund is subject to currency/exchange rate risk because it may buy or sell currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Because it is nondiversified, the fund may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the fund's shares may be subject to greater volatility and market and credit risk. Because a large percentage of the fund's assets may be invested in a limited number of holdings, a change in value of these holdings could significantly affect the value of an investment in the fund.
