4 Because the income offered today is so low, it could take years for coupon payments to make up for any capital losses With interest rates near historic lows, rate increases could lead to big losses bondholders could lose more than of their portfolios’ value If rates rise 3% over the course of 3 years According to one study: 2 22% 4 Source: Welton Investment Corporation, “When Bonds Fall: How Risky Are Bonds if Interest Rates Rise?” 2012.

17 Index and term definitions 10-year U.S. Treasuries are measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 10-Year U.S. Treasury Index, a one-security index comprising the most recently issued 10-year U.S. Treasury note. The index is rebalanced monthly. In order to qualify for inclusion, a 10-year note must be auctioned on or before the third business day before the last business day of the month. Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index tracks the performance of U.S. investment-grade bonds in government, asset-backed, and corporate debt markets. Core U.S. bonds are represented by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks the performance of U.S. investment- grade bonds in government, asset-backed, and corporate debt markets. Emerging-market debt is represented by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified Index, which tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated Brady bonds, Eurobonds, and traded loans issued by sovereign and quasisovereign entities. The index caps its exposure to countries with larger amounts of outstanding debt. Floating-rate notes are measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which tracks returns in the leveraged loan market and captures a broad cross section of the U.S. leveraged loan market, including dollar-denominated, U.S.-syndicated loans to overseas issuers and excluding those in default. High-yield bonds are measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, which tracks the performance of globally issued, U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield bonds. Mortgage-backed securities are measured by the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, an unmanaged index comprising 15- and 30-year fixed-rate securities backed by the mortgage pools of Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae. Short-term credit is measured by the Barclays 1–5 Year U.S. Credit Index, which tracks the performance of U.S. government and international, U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities between one and five years. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 17

18 A word about risk Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if a creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. A fund concentrated in one sector or that holds a limited number of securities may fluctuate more than a diversified fund. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Certain market conditions, including reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, and rising interest rates, may impair liquidity, the ability of a fund to sell securities or close derivative positions at advantageous prices. The issuer or grantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction, may be unable or unwilling to make principal, interest, or settlement payments. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, subject to early repayment, and their value may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness. Currency transactions are impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates, which may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund’s investments. The use of hedging and derivatives could produce disproportionate gains or losses and may increase costs. The distribution rate and income amounts reflect past amounts distributed and may not be indicative of future rates or income amounts. Loan participations and assignments involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest-rate risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. The distribution amounts paid by the fund generally depend on the amount of income and/or dividends received by the fund’s investments. The fund may not be able to pay distributions or may have to reduce its distribution level if the amount of such income and/or dividends received from its investment declines. Frequent trading may increase fund transaction costs and increase taxable distributions. Therefore, distribution rates and income amounts can change at any time. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the funds’ prospectuses. 18
