investment strategy / process

The PNC Balanced Allocation Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income.  Using a top-down approach to asset allocation, the Fund’s managers use proprietary models to determine broad market and sector allocations, while drawing on the team’s expertise to find the best investment opportunities in each marketplace.  The fund intends to invest 45% to 75% of its net assets in equity securities, 20% to 55% in investment grade fixed income securities and up to 30% in cash, cash equivalent securities and short-term money market instruments.  The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total assets at the time of purchase in foreign securities and may also invest in the common stock of small cap companies.

Investment Risks

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that a Fund's yield will decline due to falling interest rates and the potential for bond prices to fall as interest rates rise. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present a greater risk of loss than investments in large companies. These risks may be heightened in emerging markets.
