Strategy.

Fixed income securities utilized by the Fund include bonds and other instruments issued by the U.S. government, municipal governments, foreign governments, government agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. and foreign corporations, including mortgage and asset-backed securities, inflation protected securities, convertible bonds, structured instruments, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds and repurchase agreements. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.

Fixed income securities utilized by the Fund include bonds and other instruments issued by the U.S. government, municipal governments, foreign governments, government agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. and foreign corporations, including mortgage and asset-backed securities, inflation protected securities, convertible bonds, structured instruments, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds and repurchase agreements. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any duration and may utilize derivative investments that provide exposure to fixed income securities. Meeder Asset Management Inc. (the Adviser) utilizes a quantitative model to assist in managing the duration of the Funds investment portfolio. Duration is a measure of a debt instruments interest-rate sensitivity. The longer a debt instruments duration, the more sensitive the instrument is to shifts in interest rates. As a general rule, a 1% rise in interest rates means a 1% fall in value for every year of duration. For example, if rates were to rise 1%, a bond or debt instrument with a 5-year average duration would likely lose approximately 5% of its value. Under normal circumstances, the average portfolio duration of the fixed income securities held by the Fund will not exceed ten years. The Fund may also have a negative duration. Average portfolio duration will change depending on the Advisers interest rate expectations and outlook on changing market, economic, and political conditions. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality, including below-investment grade securities (high-yield or junk bonds), including distressed debt. The Fund may also invest in non-U.S. denominated securities (foreign securities), including securities from issuers in countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets). Foreign securities include securities issued by non-U.S. denominated governments, foreign government agencies, and corporations located in foreign or emerging markets. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts, foreign forward currency exchange contracts, interest rate futures or swaps, and credit default swaps. When utilizing derivatives, the Fund may purchase or sell long or short positions or create leverage. Derivative transactions may be used to enhance the Funds returns or liquidity, to obtain efficient exposure to certain market segments, and to adjust the duration of the portfolio. The Fund may purchase shares of fixed income mutual funds, exchange traded funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts to provide efficient and diversified exposure to domestic, foreign or emerging market segments, including inverse and leveraged ETFs and affiliated money market funds. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities, including preferred stock, convertible securities, common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Adviser employs a tactical investment strategy with a flexible asset allocation structure. The Fund can and will adjust its allocation of investments in response to changing trends in various market segments. The Fund will invest in specific fixed income market segments when the quantitative models signal a favorable market trend in combination with the Advisers own assessment of economic and market conditions to create an optimal allocation of the Funds assets. The Adviser may shift the Funds investments between fixed income market segments across the credit quality spectrum, including U.S. government securities, high yield securities, and cash or its equivalents. Investment selection is primarily driven by proprietary quantitative models that evaluate macroeconomic and segment-specific technical factors to identify market trends and measure the relative risks and opportunities of each fixed income market segment. When selecting fixed income securities for the Fund, the Adviser uses a combination of traditional due diligence, and performance analysis to identify investments for the Funds portfolio. 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.
