Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, we invest:
■ at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in equity securities of domestic issuers.
In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, we seek to produce returns that are similar to those of the Russell 1000® Index, but with lower volatility over a full market cycle. We may invest in equity securities of any market capitalization, but will primarily invest in equity securities of large-capitalization companies, which we define as companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 1000® Index at the time of purchase. The market capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Index was approximately $568.72 million to $2.48 trillion, as of October 31, 2021, and is expected to change frequently. We may invest in any sector, and at times we may emphasize one or more particular sectors.
Our investment process uses multiple risk models to evaluate and forecast the risks for all constituents of the Russell 1000® Index. We then construct a diversified portfolio of stocks with below average forecasted risk characteristics in an effort to achieve market-like returns with considerably less volatility than the U.S. equity market as a whole. We monitor the portfolio’s overall risk and the risk of each individual security and either rebalance the portfolio or sell one or more individual securities when those risks increase beyond acceptable levels.
