For the equity portion of the portfolio, the U.S. vs. non-U.S. allocations across geographies will be predicated on each regions relative market capitalization with a home bias toward the U.S. The portfolio managers regularly review the funds allocations to determine whether rebalancing is appropriate. To better balance risks in changing market environments and control costs and tax realizations, the portfolio managers may reallocate within the target range when prevailing market conditions and relative performance of certain underlying strategies lead to deviations from the targets. We reserve the right to modify the target ranges and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant a change. The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The portfolio managers continually analyze market and financial data to make buy, sell, and hold decisions.
