Fund Description
The Fund utilizes a sector rotation strategy to identify market sectors offering the greatest investment opportunities. A market sector is a segment of the securities market that groups issuers by industry. Examples include consumer discretionary, health care, information technology, consumer staples, commodities, energy, financials, industrials, materials, real estate, communication services and utilities. Using a proprietary quantitative model, Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) rotates Fund assets between and among market sectors, outweighing those sectors considered most promising.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks or underlying funds investing in equity securities. The Fund will also typically invest between 10% and 40% of its net assets in international equity securities or underlying funds primarily investing in international equities, including companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, the fund will also invest at least 5% and up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities or underlying funds primarily investing in domestic and foreign fixed income securities of any maturity and of any credit rating (including unrated and high yield fixed income securities, commonly known as “junk bonds”), exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), closed-end funds, unit investment trusts and cash equivalent securities.
The Fund may also invest directly in derivatives, such as options and futures contracts, including domestic or international stock index futures or options and option spreads on index future contracts, or in underlying funds investing in futures contracts and options on futures contracts. These investments may be used, for example, in an effort to earn extra income, to provide adequate liquidity, to adjust exposure to individual securities or markets, to hedge all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio from a decline in value, or to maintain a fully invested position in equity securities. The use of these techniques may not protect against market declines and may limit the Fund’s participation in market gains, particularly in volatile market conditions.
Individual U.S. equity securities held in the Fund are intended to target the desired allocation of each respective U.S. sector based on the Advisor’s quantitative models. These sector rotation models utilize a multi-factor approach, including relative price trends within and between sectors, energy prices, interest rates, monetary policy expectations, and market risk, among others.
There are no investment limitations on the market capitalization range or geographic region. Depending on the Adviser’s assessment of market conditions, the Fund may adjust the market capitalization or geographic balance of the portfolio by investing in derivatives, mutual funds or exchange traded funds that provide exposure to the desired market segment.
Other than as set forth in the SAI, the investment policies and limitations of the Fund are not fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the Meeder Funds without shareholder approval.
