SUPPLEMENT TO
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS DATED jANUARY 31, 2012
Effective December

and replaced with “Federated Global Allocation Fund.”
1. Under the heading
entitled, “What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?”, please replace the first four paragraphs with the following:
“During normal market conditions, the Fund will invest between 20% and 80% of its assets in equity investments and between 20% and 80% of its assets in fixed-income investments. The Fund's asset mix
will change based upon the Fund's adviser's (“Adviser”) view of economic and market conditions. The Fund will generally allocate a substantial amount of its total assets (approximately 40% or more–unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30%) to non-U.S. investments. The Fund will allocate its assets among
various regions and countries, including the United States, but in no fewer than three different countries.
With
regard to the portion of the Fund allocated to equity securities, the Fund's Adviser may allocate relatively more of the Fund's assets, based upon its view of economic and market conditions, to securities with exposure
to a particular sector, country or region, to securities chosen using a particular style of investing (e.g., growth or value) or to securities with a particular market capitalization (e.g., small, medium or large).
When
selecting individual securities (whether foreign or domestic) in which to invest, the Fund focuses primarily on securities of companies that collectively provide the Adviser with the region, country, sector, style and
size exposures it is targeting. In addition, the Adviser considers other security-specific factors that they expect to generate relatively better performance within the stock portfolio. Such factors include valuation,
profitability, growth expectations, market sentiment and price behavior.
