The expense example tables for the Asset Allocation Funds, found on page 27 of the Prospectus, are deleted in their entirety, and replaced with the tables below.

Example:

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Asset Allocation Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The following tables set forth the estimated aggregate expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds, including expenses of the underlying Traditional Funds in which they invest, based upon the expense tables for the Asset Allocation Funds set out above. These estimates assume a constant allocation by each Asset Allocation Fund of its assets in the Traditional Funds as described in the “Basics About the Asset Allocation Funds” section. Actual expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds may be higher or lower than this example. For each share class offered, the Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and annual Fund operating expenses remain the same for each share class as set forth above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
