The Advisor believes that purchasing ETFs may allow it to manage the Series portfolio more efficiently than would otherwise be possible. In selecting individual securities, the Advisor uses fundamental analysis and looks for one or more of the following characteristics: Strong strategic profiles (e.g., strong market position, benefits from technology, market share gains and high barriers to entry). A cyclical improvement in supply and/or demand. Low price relative to fundamental or breakup value. The Advisor will consider selling a security if: it no longer fits the Series investment strategies or the Advisors investment thesis; it has reached the Advisors target sell price or no longer fits the Advisors valuation discipline; or a more attractive investment opportunity is identified. There are no prescribed limits on the sector allocation of the Series investments and, from time to time, the Series may focus its investments in one or more sectors.
