Global Allocation Fund (LAGEX) - Class A

Fund Finder
Portfolio Breakdown (as of 05/31/2013)
The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and, therefore, its percent allocations may change from time to time. Fund allocations may not total 100% due to rounding or cash and net other assets.
Portfolio Positioning (as of 03/29/2013)
  • The Global Allocation Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the 40% MSCI EAFE Index with Gross Dividends/25% Russell 1000® Index/20% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index/15% BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index, during the first quarter of 2013.
  • The Fund's overweight to equities contributed to relative performance, as stocks outperformed bonds for the period. The overweight to international equities detracted from relative performance as international equities struggled to keep pace with domestic equities.
  • The international high-dividend equity strategy outperformed versus its benchmark, contributing to the Fund's relative performance. A domestic mid cap value equity investment strategy underperformed its benchmark and, consequently, hurt Fund performance during the quarter.
  • Given that stocks still appear cheap compared with bonds, that current U.S. economic readings suggest at least modest economic growth, and that the Federal Reserve's extraordinary accommodation seems likely to continue, we continue to emphasize stocks in this Fund.
  • We continue to hold meaningful high-yield investments in this Fund, though we expect limited price appreciation from here. We would likely reduce this emphasis if high-yield bond spreads were to compress further.
The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and may change significantly over time.
