The value of your investment in a company stock fund is affected by the performance of the
company and the overall stock market and, if applicable, by the amount and performance of any
short-term investments held by the fund.
To help achieve long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the benefits
of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio. Spreading your assets among different
types of investments can help you achieve a favorable rate of return, while minimizing your overall
risk of losing money. This is because market or other economic conditions that cause one category
of assets, or one particular security, to perform very well often cause another asset category, or
other particular security to perform poorly. If you invest more than 20% of your retirement savings
in any one company or industry, your savings may not be properly diversified. Although
diversification is not a guarantee against loss, it is an effective strategy to help manage your
investment risk.
Investments in smaller companies may involve greater risk than those in larger, more well known
companies.
In general the bond market is volatile and bonds entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond
prices usually fall and vice versa). This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities.
Bonds also entail the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk and inflation risk.
Investments in mid-sized companies may involve greater risk than those of larger, more well known
companies, but may be less volatile than investments in smaller companies.
Foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, involve greater risk and may offer
greater potential returns than U.S. investments. This risk includes political and economic
uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of currency fluctuation.
Target date investments are generally designed for investors expecting to retire around the year
indicated in each investment’s name. The investments are managed to gradually become more
conservative over time. The investment risks of each target date investment change over time as its
asset allocation changes. They are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including equity
and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad and may be subject to risk associated with
investing in high yield, small cap and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any
time, including at or after their target dates.
