FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks inflation protection and income. The fund normally invests at least 80% of net assets in inflation-protected bonds. The emphasis will be on bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, but similar bonds issued by U.S. government agencies and corporations may also be purchased. It may invest up to 20% of net assets in fixed-income securities that are not indexed to inflation. All of the fund's non-U.S. Treasury securities will be rated "A" or better by at least one nationally recognized credit rating agency. The fund's dollar weighted average maturity is expected to be between five and 15 years.
