Investment objective & strategy

As of Dec. 23, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Funds investment objective is to seek total return.

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities and derivative instruments that provide exposure to equity securities (the 80% Policy). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed-income securities, including securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated securities (junk); other fixed and floating-rate income instruments; and/or in currencies. The Fund may invest an unlimited amount of its assets in foreign securities issued by companies domiciled in developed or emerging market countries including frontier markets. Such investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies and securities trading in the form of depositary receipts, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which are either … Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities and derivative instruments that provide exposure to equity securities (the 80% Policy). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed-income securities, including securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated securities (junk); other fixed and floating-rate income instruments; and/or in currencies. The Fund may invest an unlimited amount of its assets in foreign securities issued by companies domiciled in developed or emerging market countries including frontier markets. Such investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies and securities trading in the form of depositary receipts, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which are either sponsored or unsponsored, and Global Depositary Receipts. The Fund may invest in stocks of companies of any capitalization, publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs). The Fund may primarily utilize pooled investment vehicles including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and open-ended registered investment companies in order to manage cash positions or seek exposure to certain markets or market sectors. The Fund may engage in derivative transactions to seek return, to seek to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates, or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. The Fund expects to use derivatives principally when seeking to gain exposure to equity securities using futures contracts on securities indices and/or when seeking to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies by buying or selling forward foreign currency exchange contracts. However, the Fund may also purchase or sell forwards or other types of futures contracts; options on futures contracts; exchange-traded and over-the-counter options; equity collars; equity-linked securities; equity swap agreements and other derivatives as described in the prospectus. The Fund may also engage in covered short sales (on individual securities held or on an index or basket of securities whose constituents are held in whole or in part or for which liquid assets have been segregated) and forward commitments. Except as required by applicable regulation, there is no stated limit on the Funds use of derivatives for such purposes. The Fund may also lend its securities. The Fund seeks to achieve diversified, superior risk adjusted returns by dynamically allocating to multiple strategies, regions, sectors and factors in a changing and diverse growth cycle. Value is added through combining efficient market exposure with active management alpha through tactical opportunities in navigating markets and efficient implementation. The advisers asset allocation methodology is differentiated using a top-down approach to find value and drive alpha. The adviser seeks to increase upside vs. downside capture throughout economic cycles to produce stable returns that compound. The adviser believes markets move with economic tides, at the heart of which is global gross domestic product ?growth and that growth is unevenly distributed across asset classes, sectors, sub-sectors and regions, creating investment opportunities In selecting securities and other instruments, the portfolio managers employ quantitative screening and optimization tools to achieve desired market exposures while seeking to manage stock-specific and other observable market risks. The portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis and ?rebalanced as necessary to seek to ensure that desired market exposures and risk parameters are maintained. Stocks may be sold if they exhibit performance that might counteract the desired exposures or to implement a revised allocation. A security may also be sold if the adviser believes it exhibits unusual volatility or price movement.
