The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements. With respect to the equity portion of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser intends to target companies with above average sales and earnings growth characteristics and below average valuations with a focus on investing in companies that have an improving profit outlook. The Sub-Adviser employs strategies to control the risks of the Funds equity holdings, including diversifying stockholdings across the major economic sectors and individual companies. With respect to the fixed income portion of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser intends to invest primarily in fixed income securities rated, at the time of purchase, within the four highest credit categories (Aaa, Aa, A, Baa, or equivalent) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by the Funds Sub-Adviser. However, also with respect to the fixed income portion of the Fund, the Fund may invest up to 20% of that portion in fixed income securities rated below such ratings (junk or high yield bonds) but not lower than a B rating by an NRSRO at the time of purchase. In addition, the sub-adviser seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of three years or more for its fixed income allocation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest no more than 75% of its fixed income portion in asset-backed and/or mortgage-backed securities.
