Interest Rate Risk. The value of fixed income securities may decline because of increases in interest rates or rise because of decreases in interest rates. The value of a fixed income security with greater duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar security with shorter duration. The prices of fixed income securities with shorter duration generally will be less affected by changes in interest rates than the prices of fixed income securities with greater duration. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the fixed income securities held by the Fund. As a result, it is possible that the Fund would, during these conditions, maintain a substantial portion of its assets in cash, on which it may earn little, if any, income. Changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments or changes in economic conditions may affect the level of interest rates, which could have sudden or unpredictable effects on the markets. A sudden or unpredictable rise or decline in interest rates may cause volatility and reduced liquidity in the markets, which could make it more difficult for the Fund to sell its investments at a time when it may be advantageous to do so and could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline, potentially suddenly and significantly.

Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related, and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie ABS, mortgage-related securities, and MBS. During periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk and may receive principal later than it had expected, causing the Fund to experience additional volatility. During periods of falling interest rates, ABS, mortgage-related securities, and MBS may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), MBS, adjustable-rate mortgage securities (“ARMs”), interest-only securities (“IOs”), principal-only securities (“POs”), and inverse floaters may be more volatile and may be more sensitive to interest rate changes and prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The impairment of the value of the collateral underlying a security in which the Fund invests (due, for example, to non-payment of loans) may result in a reduction in the value of the security. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for privately-issued and sub-prime mortgages is generally higher than for other types of MBS. The structure of some of these securities may be complex, and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. In addition, ABS

such as collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) present credit risks that are not presented by MBS. This is because ABS generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable in quality to mortgage assets. If the issuer of an ABS defaults on its payment obligations, there is the possibility that, in some cases, the Fund will be unable to possess and sell the underlying collateral and that the Fund’s recoveries on repossessed collateral may not be available to support payments on the security.

Counterparty Risk. When the Fund enters into an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase agreement, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the other party may be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations, which could adversely impact the value of the Fund.

Derivatives Risk. An investment in derivatives (such as futures contracts, forwards and swaps) may not perform as anticipated by the Adviser or the Sub‑advisers, may not be able to be closed out at a favorable time or price, or may increase the Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may create investment leverage so that when a derivative is used as a substitute for or alternative to a direct cash investment, the transaction may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the cash investment or when used for hedging purposes, the derivative may not provide the anticipated protection, causing the Fund to lose money on both the derivative and the exposure the Fund sought to hedge. Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund’s portfolio may be magnified when the Fund uses leverage. Derivatives are also subject to correlation risk, which is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. The Fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to market risk, which is described above, and liquidity risk, which is described below. The Fund’s use of swaps and forwards is also subject to counterparty risk, which is described above.

Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of investing in foreign securities can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency risk, political and economic instability, terrorism, armed conflicts and other geopolitical events, additional or fewer government regulations, the imposition of tariffs and other restrictions on trade or economic sanctions, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors, and less stringent regulation of securities markets. Geopolitical or other events such as nationalization or expropriation could cause the loss of the Fund’s entire investment in one or more countries. In addition, periodic U.S. government prohibitions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund.

Investment Strategy Risk. There is no assurance the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. Investment decisions may not produce the expected results. The value of the Fund may decline, and the Fund may underperform other funds with similar objectives and strategies.

Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Fund’s ability to value securities or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions at desirable times or prices.

Prepayment and Extension Risk. When interest rates fall, issuers of higher-coupon debt obligations, as well as issuers of callable bonds, may pay off the debts earlier than expected (prepayment risk), and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower yields. When interest rates rise, issuers of lower-coupon debt obligations may pay off the debts later than expected (extension risk), thus keeping the Fund’s assets tied up in lower-coupon debt obligations.

Redemption Risk. The Fund may experience losses or realize taxable gains when selling securities to meet redemption requests. This risk is greater for larger redemption requests or redemption requests during adverse market conditions. Large redemptions of the Fund’s shares may force the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so and may cause the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.

Reinvestment Risk. Cash flows from fixed income securities are generally reinvested at current market rates. A decline in market rates may result in less attractive reinvestment opportunities and affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective.

High Yield Securities Risk. High yield, or “junk,” securities involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. High yield securities also may be less liquid than higher quality investments. These securities may offer higher returns, but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return.

Larger Company Risk. Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts Risk. ADRs and GDRs are subject to many of the same currency and economic risks as the underlying non-U.S. securities they represent. They are affected by the risks associated with non-U.S. securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies.

Completion Portfolio Risk. RIM manages a portion of the Fund’s assets as a completion portfolio to seek to achieve the Adviser’s preferred overall portfolio positioning for the Fund. Investments, including derivatives such as futures contracts, forwards and swaps, in the completion portfolio may be purchased or retained primarily for their contribution to the Fund’s desired market, sector, industry, style, factor, country, currency or other exposures rather than based on their individual investment merits or expected performance. Accordingly, the Fund may hold securities that perform poorly or that would not otherwise be selected under a security-specific, active investment approach. The completion portfolio may not achieve the intended exposures or results and could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

Value Style Risk. Certain Sub-advisers manage their allocated portion of the Fund’s assets primarily using a value investment style. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and may underperform other types of investments or investment styles, as different market styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market conditions and other factors. Value stocks are believed to be undervalued relative to their projected underlying profitability.

Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller capitalization companies (including medium capitalization and small capitalization companies) may have greater risks, as these companies may have less operating history, narrower product or customer markets, and fewer managerial and financial resources than more established companies. Smaller capitalization stocks may be more volatile and have less liquidity.
