Each of the NBI Funds' investment objective is to provide current income and preserve capital over a predetermined period. Each fund invests, directly or indirectly through investments in securities of other mutual funds, in portfolios comprised primarily of investment-grade bonds of North American companies with an effective maturity date. As target maturity funds, the NBI Funds have a predetermined, specified lifespan. Therefore, it is anticipated that the bonds held in these NBI Funds will mature the same year as they are expected to terminate.
