RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNDS:
Balanced, Enhanced Income, High Yield Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond, Short-Term Bond, and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Funds:
Investing in debt securities entails interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities will decrease in value with increases in market interest rates. Investing in high yield securities involves additional risks when compared to investing in investment grade securities. These include a greater risk of default or bankruptcy and an increased sensitivity to financial difficulties or changes in interest rates.

Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Value and Small-Cap Index Funds:
Investing in the securities of small and mid capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more established companies.

International Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund and Emerging Markets Fund:
Investing in foreign equities entails additional risk not associated with domestic equities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. The risks of investing in foreign equities are heightened when investing in emerging markets.
