Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The information shows you how LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund’s performance has varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the returns for Class K Shares of the Fund for each of the last ten calendar years, except as described below. The average annual total returns table compares the performance of the Fund to that of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Russell 1000® Index and the LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund Custom Benchmark, a customized weighted index comprised of the Bloomberg U.S. Long Credit Bond Index, Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Bond Index, Bloomberg U.S. Long Government Bond Index, Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index, Bloomberg U.S. Securitized: MBS, ABS and CMBS Index, ICE® U.S. Treasury 0-5 Year Inflation Linked Bond Index, FTSE Nareit All Equity REIT Index, S&P Global Infrastructure IndexTM (Net), MSCI ACWI ex USA IMI Index (Net), Russell 1000® Index and Russell 2000® Index, which are representative of the asset classes in which the Fund invests according to their weightings as of the most recent quarter-end. The weightings of the indices in the LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund Custom Benchmark are adjusted periodically to reflect the investment adviser’s evaluation and adjustment of the Fund’s asset allocation strategy. The returns of the LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund Custom Benchmark shown in the average annual total returns table are not recalculated or restated when they are adjusted to reflect the Fund’s asset allocation strategy but rather reflect the LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund Custom Benchmark’s actual allocation over time, which may be different from the current allocation. The Russell 1000® Index and the LifePath Dynamic Retirement Fund Custom Benchmark are relevant to the Fund because they have characteristics similar to the Fund’s investment strategy.

Fund Custom Benchmark against which the Fund measures its performance was changed to add ICE® U.S. Treasury 0-5 Year Inflation Linked Bond Index, FTSE Nareit All Equity REIT Index and S&P Global Infrastructure IndexTM (Net) and to gradually remove Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (Series-L) and FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index.

Effective March 31, 2018, the investment adviser determined not to allocate any of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds that invest primarily in commodities. Performance for the periods shown prior to March 31, 2018 is based on the prior target asset allocation. Effective November 7, 2016, the Fund changed its investment strategy to (i) incorporate a Global Tactical Asset Allocation into its glidepath, (ii) increase the flexibility of its equity allocations and (iii) diversify its fixed-income strategies. Performance for the periods shown prior to November 7, 2016 is based on the prior investment strategy. To the extent that dividends and distributions have been paid by the Fund, the performance information of the Fund in the chart and table assumes reinvestment of the dividends and distributions. The table includes all applicable fees. How the Fund performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. If BFA, BAL and their affiliates had not waived or reimbursed certain Fund expenses during these periods, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.
