Global 25/75 Portfolio Class R2


Inception Date
December 24, 2003 		CUSIP Number
254-34D-641

The investment objective of the Global 25/75 Portfolio is to seek total return consistent with current income and preservation of capital with some capital appreciation. The Portfolio, under normal market circumstances, allocates the majority of its assets to fixed income underlying funds, but the Portfolio also invests a small portion of its assets to equity underlying funds. Generally, the Portfolio invests its assets in equity and fixed income underlying funds to achieve an allocation of approximately 5% to 45% (with a target allocation of approximately 25%) of the Portfolio's assets to equity funds and approximately 55% to 95% (with a target allocation of approximately 75%) of the Portfolio's assets to fixed income funds. With respect to investments in equity, the Portfolio may invest its assets in both domestic and international funds. The current allocation of underlying funds is available in the portfolio Fact Sheet.

The Global 25/75 Portfolio further diversifies its investment portfolio by allocating its assets among underlying funds that represent a variety of different asset classes, such as small capitalization stocks, emerging markets stocks and global bonds. The Portfolio also benefits from the diversification of each Underlying Fund in which it invests. The composition of the Portfolio may change without notice from time to time.

Class R2 shares are only intended for investors who have purchased shares through certain eligible group retirement plans.

Market Risk
Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities, and the funds that own them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in a fund will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money.

Fund of Funds Risk
The investment performance of each Portfolio is affected by the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. The ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objective depends on the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their investment objectives and on the Advisor's decisions regarding the allocation of the Portfolio's assets among the Underlying Funds. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Portfolio or Underlying Fund will be achieved. Through their investments in the Underlying Funds, the Portfolios are subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds investments. The risks of the Underlying Funds may include Market Risk, Small Company Risk, Risks of Concentrating in the Real Estate Industry, Emerging Markets Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, and Risks of Banking Concentration. For more details regarding these risks, please see the DIG Global Portfolios Prospectus.

Interest Rate Risk
Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk because the prices of fixed income securities tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these price changes.
