Fund Description

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers included in the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index”).The sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”) seeks to maximize total return to the extent consistent with maintaining lower volatility than the Index. Volatility generally measures how much a fund’s returns have varied over a specified time frame.The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to, index futures. The Fund typically uses derivatives as a substitute for purchasing securities included in the Index or for the purpose of maintaining equity market exposure on its cash balance.The Fund may also invest in real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and under the terms of applicable no-action relief or exemptive orders granted thereunder.The Sub-Adviser creates a target universe that consists of dividend-paying securities by screening for companies that exhibit stable dividend yields within each industry sector. Once the Sub-Adviser creates this target universe, the Sub-Adviser seeks to identify the most attractive securities within each sector by ranking each security relative to other securities within its sector using proprietary, fundamental sector-specific models. The Sub-Adviser then uses optimization techniques to seek to achieve the portfolio’s target dividend yield – which is expected to be higher than the Index in aggregate – manage target beta, determine active weights, and neutralize sector exposures in order to create a portfolio that the Sub-Adviser believes will provide the potential for maximum total return, consistent with maintaining lower volatility than the Index. Under certain market conditions, the Fund will likely earn a lower level of total return than it would in the absence of its strategy of maintaining a relatively low level of volatility.In evaluating investments for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser, through its quantitative methods and models, takes into account a wide variety of factors and considerations to determine whether any or all of those factors or considerations might have a material effect on the value, risks, or prospects of a company. Among the factors considered, the Sub-Adviser expects that its quantitative methods and models will typically take into account environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors. In considering ESG factors, the Sub-Adviser’s quantitative methods and models will rely primarily on factors identified through the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary empirical research and on third-party evaluations of a company’s ESG standing. ESG factors will be only one of many considerations in the evaluation of any potential investment; the extent to which ESG factors will affect the Sub-Adviser’s decision to invest in a company, if at all, will depend on the operation of the Sub-Adviser’s quantitative processes and the judgment of the Sub-Adviser.The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 13% of its total assets.
