Important Fund Information
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund involves investment risks, including possible loss of the amount invested.
The Fund may invest in mid-size and small companies which present greater risk and higher volatility than investments in larger, more established companies. The Fund may also invest in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. As a result of political or economic instability in some countries, there can be special risks associated with investing in some international securities, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, increased price volatility, and difficulty obtaining information. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the Fund.
NOTES
Annualized Standard Deviation — A statistical measure of the historical volatility of a mutual fund or portfolio, usually computed using 36 monthly returns. More generally, a measure of the extent to which numbers are spread around their average.
Beta — Is a historic measure of a fund's relative volatility, which is one of the measures of risk; a beta of 0.5 reflects 1/2 the market's volatility as represented by the S&P 500 Index, while a beta of 2.0 reflects twice the market's volatility.
Debt/Capital — Measures a company's debt in relation to its total capital.
ROIC — (return on invested capital) measures an investment's growth prospects; measures the percentage earned on invested capital.
S&P 500 Index — Is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
Unmanaged index returns assume reinvestment of any and all distributions and, unlike fund returns, do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Portfolios are managed according to their respective strategies which may differ significantly in terms of security holdings, industry weightings, and asset allocation from those of the benchmark(s). Portfolio performance, characteristics and volatility may differ from the benchmark(s) shown.
The Fund may seek to purchase index put options to help reduce downside exposure however, the effectiveness of the Fund's index option-based risk management strategy may be reduced if the Fund’s equity portfolio does not correlate to the performance of the underlying option positions. The Fund also risks losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing index options. Unusual market conditions or lack of a ready market of any particular option at a specific time may reduce the effectiveness of the Fund’s option strategies, and for these and other reasons the Fund's option strategies may not reduce the Fund’s volatility to the extent desired. From time to time, the Fund may reduce its holdings of put options, resulting in an increased exposure to a market decline.
Top 10 Holdings and Sector Weightings are calculated as a percentage of Net Assets. The tables exclude cash or cash equivalents, any government / sovereign bonds or broad based index hedging securities the portfolio may hold.
