During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2024 all share classes of the Fund underperformed the 60% / 40% blend of S&P 500 Index / Bloomberg US Government/Credit Index (the “benchmark”), before sales charges. Security selection within fixed-income assets detracted, as did overall asset class allocation, relative to the fixed-income component of the blended benchmark. Within equities, overall security selection detracted, particularly selection within health care and financials. Contributions from selection within consumer staples helped offset some of these losses. Overall sector selection contributed as underweights to energy and consumer discretionary offset losses from an overweight to health care and an underweight to communication services.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]	How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance? During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2024 all share classes of the Fund underperformed the 60% / 40% blend of S&P 500 Index / Bloomberg US Government/Credit Index (the “benchmark”), before sales charges. Security selection within fixed-income assets detracted, as did overall asset class allocation, relative to the fixed-income component of the blended benchmark. Within equities, overall security selection detracted, particularly selection within health care and financials. Contributions from selection within consumer staples helped offset some of these losses. Overall sector selection contributed as underweights to energy and consumer discretionary offset losses from an overweight to health care and an underweight to communication services.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]	How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance? During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2024, all share classes of the Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index (“MSCI ACWI”) (net) (the “benchmark”), before sales charges. The primary driver of outperformance was positive security selection, particularly within technology, industrials and consumer staples. Sector selection had a slightly negative impact, with cash drag being the largest detractor, while gains from underweights to materials and consumer staples helped offset some losses. Currency selection also slightly detracted from performance.
