In selecting investments for the Fund, the sub-adviser employs a fundamental, bottom-up approach. The sub-adviser focuses on those companies that it believes have high-quality businesses that are undervalued by the market relative to what the sub-adviser believes to be their fair value. The sub-adviser seeks to identify high-quality businesses by focusing on companies with the following attributes: attractive business fundamentals; experienced, motivated company management; pricing power; sustainable competitive advantages; financial strength; and/or high or consistently improving market position, return on invested capital and operating margins. The Fund is benchmarked to the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index for the purpose of performance measurement. However, the sub-adviser is not constrained by the composition of either index in selecting investments for the Fund.
