Investment strategy: The Equity and Bond Fund invests all of its assets in shares of the State Farm Equity Fund and the State Farm Bond Fund.

Risks
In general, because the Equity and Bond Fund invests all of its assets in the State Farm Equity Fund and the State Farm Bond Fund, the risks of investing in the Equity and Bond Fund are the same as investing in those underlying funds.
An investment in the Equity and Bond Fund is not a deposit of any bank or other insured depository institution and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. You can lose money by investing in the Fund.
It is important to note that there is market risk involved when investing in mutual funds, including possible loss of principal.
An automatic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. An automatic investment plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating prices. You should consider your financial ability to continue purchases through periods of high or low price levels.
It is important to note all bonds are subject to interest rate risk, including those issued by the U.S. Government. There is risk that the bonds a fund holds may decline in value due to an increase in interest rates.
