SunTrust Rollover Solution Center www.suntrust.com/retirement 1-800-453-4015 Mutual fund categories T he SunTrust Rollover Solution Center can help explain many investment options including a product that allows you to invest your IRA Rollover into mutual funds. These mutual funds fall into general categories, which are described on the right. In general, investments that offer higher risk have yielded higher returns over the long term. However, this is not always true. Look on the following pages for your individual fund performance. When looking at performance numbers, consider your personal time horizon. Many people find the five-year and since inception growth rates helpful in considering long-term investment decisions. Aggressive Growth Funds These funds seek to provide maximum long-term growth. These funds invest in domestic stocks, international stocks or a mixture of both. Growth Funds These funds put an emphasis on growing principal. While these funds tend to be less risky than Aggressive Growth funds, they strive for a balance between growth and level of risk. Balanced Funds These funds seek to provide regular earnings as well as long-term growth. Funds within this category may invest in a combination of both stocks and bonds. Income Funds These funds seek regular, consistent earnings, which are then reinvested into the fund. These funds invest primarily in fixed income or bond securities. Capital Preservation Funds These funds seek to preserve your money without focusing on growth. These generally include cash equivalents and money markets.
