MoA Clear Passage 2015 Fund
Summary Prospectus of
►MoA Funds
MoA Clear Passage 2015 FundTM
May 1, 2024
Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at moafunds.com/resources#docs-funddocs. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 800.914.8716 or by sending an e-mail request to [email protected]. The Fund's current statutory prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated May 1, 2024, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus.
Investment Objective.The Fund seeks to achieve current income and capital appreciation appropriate for the asset allocation associated with its approximate year of retirement which is included in the Fund's name ("Target Retirement Date").
Fees and Expenses of the Fund.The table below describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Fund shares. For investments through an insurance company separate account, note that the expenses shown do not include Separate Account expenses or variable contract expenses which would increase costs if included.
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
N/A
Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees
0.05%
Other Expenses
0.17%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses1
0.34%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
0.56%
1Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses ("AFFEs") reflect fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its investments in the underlying Funds. The total annual fund operating expenses in the fee table may differ from the expense ratios in the fund's "Financial Highlights" that include only the Fund's direct operating expenses and not AFFEs.
Example.This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes: (a) that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods, (b) a 5% return each year and (c) operating expenses remain the same. For investments through an insurance company separate account, note that the expenses shown do not include Separate Account expenses or variable contract expenses which would increase costs if included. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your cost based on these assumptions would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$57
$181
$317
$722
Portfolio Turnover.The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 19.08% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies.The Fund invests in shares of other series of the Investment Company ("IC Funds") in proportions that the Adviser selects to seek to meet the objective of the Fund.
The Clear Passage 2015 Fund is designed for investors who retired or began withdrawing assets around the year 2015. Under normal circumstances, the asset allocation will change over time according to a predetermined "glide path" as the Clear Passage Fund approaches the Target Retirement Date. The glide path below represents the shifting of asset classes over time. As the glide path shows, generally, the less time that remains until the Target Retirement Date, and for a 10 year period after the Target Retirement Date, the more the Fund will invest in fixed income IC Funds and the less it will invest in equity IC Funds. A Clear Passage Fund that has reached its Target Retirement Date can have 45%, which can vary by plus or minus 10%, of its assets invested in equity IC Funds.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund's asset allocation among the underlying funds was as follows:
•
MoA Equity Index Fund 22.5%
•
MoA Mid Cap Equity Index Fund 4.2%
•
MoA Mid Cap Value Fund 0.5%
•
MoA International Fund 5.5%
•
MoA Money Market Fund 6.9%
•
MoA Core Bond Fund 32.0%
•
MoA Intermediate Bond Fund 28.4%
-2-
The periodic reallocations of the assets of each Clear Passage Fund will be affected by other matters aside from the period of time remaining until the Target Retirement Date, such as current market conditions, the economy, unanticipated events and other factors, so there is no precise timetable or formula for the reallocations of the Target Date Funds, but the target allocations are not expected to vary from the chart by more than plus or minus ten percentage points.
Principal Investment Risks.As with any mutual fund, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.Additionally, an investment in the Fund is subject to the following risks which are described in more detail in the Prospectus.
•
General risk: The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund could decline in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
•
Underlying Fund risk: A Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective will depend largely on the performance of the selected underlying funds. There can be no assurance that either the Fund or the underlying funds will achieve its investment objective. Additionally, because the Fund invests in underlying funds and pays its own fees and expenses as well as a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, the Fund may pay higher fees and expenses than funds that do not invest in other mutual funds. A Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which it invests. These risks include Company, Market, Mid-Cap, and Stock risks, which are all described in detail in the "Principal Risks" section of the prospectus.
•
Active Management risk: The portfolio manager's judgments about the attractiveness, value or potential appreciation of the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. The Fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies if the Fund's overall investment selections or strategies fail to produce the intended results.
•
Company risk: The price of the stock of a particular company can vary based on a variety of factors, such as the company's financial performance, changes in management and product trends, and the potential for takeover and acquisition. The prices of equity securities of smaller companies may fluctuate more than for more established companies. The equity securities of smaller companies may not be traded as often as for larger companies, therefore it may be difficult to trade securities at a desirable price. Investments in companies with small market capitalizations generally offer greater opportunities for appreciation, but are associated with more risks than for established companies.
•
Market risk: The risk that prices of securities will go down because of the interplay of market forces, which may affect a single issuer, industry or sector of the economy or may affect the market as a whole. Events such as economic recession, war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, public health emergencies and other unforeseen events could also significantly impact issuers, economies and markets generally.
•
Mid-Cap risk: Mid-cap stocks experience more market risk and sharper price fluctuations than for large-cap stocks due to the fact that the earnings of mid-size companies tend to be less predictable and the stocks are traded less frequently. Mid-cap stocks may also have lower trading volumes than large-cap stocks, and this lower trading volume may cause disproportionate decreases in the market price of mid-cap stocks during times of greater selling pressure.
•
Stock risk: The value of your investment will go up or down, depending on, among other things, movements in the stock markets. The investment results may be better or worse than the results for the stock markets taken as a whole, or than the results of other funds that invest in the same types of securities.
•
Foreign Investment risk: Foreign markets are subject to the risk of change in currency or exchange rates, economic and political trends in foreign countries, less liquidity, more volatility, more difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, higher transaction costs and less government supervision and other
-3-
reporting regulations and requirements than domestic markets. Foreign investment risks are greater in emerging markets than in developed markets. Domestic equities indices could outperform the MSCI EAFE Index for periods of time. The International Fund, in which the Fund invests, may invest substantially all or a significant portion of its assets in ETFs.
•
Fixed Income risk: The value of your investment will go up or down depending on movements in the bond markets.
•
Interest Rate risk: Fixed income securities have an inverse relationship to interest rates, such that bond values decrease as interest rates rise. In general, the longer the term to maturity, the greater impact interest rate changes will have on the value of a security. The Fund faces a heightened level of interest rate risk as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has recently raised interest rates in an attempt to ease inflationary pressures. Further, the Fed's efforts to reduce inflation may contribute to a deterioration in economic conditions and to a general decline in the market values of investment securities.
•
Corporate Debt risk: During periods of economic uncertainty, the value of corporate debt securities may decline relative to the value of U.S. government debt securities. Debt obligations are subject to the risk that issuers may not be able to pay off the principal and interest when due.
•
Credit Risk: Debt obligations are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be unable or unwilling to make principal and interest payments when they are due.
•
Liquidity risk: The prices of debt securities may be subject to significant volatility, particularly as markets become less liquid due to limited dealer inventory of corporate bonds.
•
Extension risk: Mortgage-related securities are subject to the risk that the issuer of such a security pays back the principal of such an obligation later than expected. This may occur when interest rates rise, and this may negatively affect Fund returns.
•
Prepayment risk: Mortgage-related securities are subject to the risk that the issuer of such a security pays back the principal of such an obligation earlier than expected. This may occur when interest rates decline, and may negatively affect Fund returns.
•
Call Risk: When interest rates decline, an issuer may have an option to call the securities before maturity, resulting in reduced income.
•
Large Cap risk: Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.
•
U.S. Government Securities risk: The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. U.S. government securities include zero coupon securities, which tend to be subject to greater price volatility than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
•
Mortgage risk: The duration of mortgage-related securities and interest rates tend to move together. As interest rates rise, the duration of mortgage-related securities extends and as interest rates fall, mortgage-related securities are often prepaid at a faster rate. Because of interest rate changes, it is not possible to predict the realized yield or average life of a mortgage-backed security.
•
Zero Coupon risk: Zero coupon securities and discount notes do not pay interest prior to maturity and therefore may be more difficult to sell during periods of interest rate changes. The market value of debt securities declines as interest rates rise; therefore the Fund may lose value if it sells zero coupon securities prior to their maturity date.
•
Target Date Fund risk:
•
The Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying Investment Company Funds ("IC Funds") in which it invests.
-4-
•
The Clear Passage Fund is a "fund of funds" where the allocations shift and there is no guarantee that the allocations in the Clear Passage Fund of the IC Funds will prove to be correct under all market and economic conditions. An investment in the Clear Passage Fund could decline in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Clear Passage Fund, even after the Target Retirement Date.
•
There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adequate income at and through your retirement.
•
The Clear Passage Fund has assets allocated across equity and fixed income IC Funds, and is subject to the risks of investing in both equity and fixed income securities. The Clear Passage Fund has assets allocated to the International Fund and is subject to the risks of investing in international securities.
•
The Clear Passage Fund will continue to have a significant investment in equities at and after your retirement date, which are riskier than investments in fixed income securities.
•
The appropriate Clear Passage Fund should suit your anticipated date of retirement, as well as your tolerance for risk and your personal financial goals. An investor with high risk tolerance may prefer a later Target Retirement Date with greater emphasis on capital appreciation; while an investor with lower risk tolerance may prefer an earlier Target Retirement Date with greater emphasis on capital preservation and current income. Regardless of what Clear Passage Fund you select, the allocations of a Clear Passage Fund do not take into account current market dynamics or your specific circumstances at any given time, such as varying financial circumstances and risk tolerances.
Performance/Annual Return.The bar chart and table below show the annual return and average annual returns of the Fund.
Below the bar chart are the Fund's highest and lowest total returns for any calendar quarter during the period covered by the chart, showing the volatility of the Fund's total returns. The numbers in parentheses are negative, representing a loss of principal.
The information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for one, five and ten years compare to those of a broad-based, unmanaged index for those periods.A fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.
For investments through an insurance company separate account, note that the total returns and average annual total returns shown do not include charges against the assets of the Separate Accounts that purchase Fund shares. If these charges were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Updated performance information is available at no cost online at mutualofamerica.com or by calling 800.468.3785.

(1)
The S&P 500® and S&P 500® Index refer to the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a market value-weighted index of the common stock prices of companies included in the S&P 500®.
(2)
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents U.S. fixed rate, investment grade securities, with index components for U.S. government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Each bond included in the Index must have at least one year to final maturity regardless of call features and a rating of "Baa" or higher (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.
(3)
The FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is comprised of equal dollar amounts of 3-month Treasury bills purchased at the beginning of each of three consecutive months. As each bill matures, all proceeds are rolled over or reinvested in a new 3-month bill. The income used to calculate the monthly return is derived by subtracting the original amount invested from the maturity value. The yield curve average is
