The Fund is actively managed primarily relying on a multi-factor quantitative methodology with active risk management to construct a portfolio of securities exhibiting exposures to one or more investing factors. The multi-factor quantitative methodology currently used by the Fund may take into account the following factors: (i) value; (ii) momentum; (iii) quality; and (iv) low volatility. These factors are briefly defined below. ? Value is a measure of a securitys price relative to the fundamental value of that security. ? Momentum is a measure of the price performance of a security versus a market average, another security or universe of securities. ? Quality is a measure of the strength of a securitys fundamentals. ? Volatility is a measure of the magnitude of a securitys price fluctuations over time. The Funds active strategy gives it the flexibility to alter the investing factors used in the construction of the Funds portfolio in response to changes in market conditions, emergent academic research or other considerations. The Funds active risk management allows the investment advisor to maintain exposure to desired factors while controlling exposure to industries/sectors, single stock risk and other risks. Show less
