Strategy. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade, fixed-income securities consisting primarily of corporate debt securities, U.S. government mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasury and agency securities.

The Funds investment adviser (the Adviser) seeks to enhance the Funds performance by allocating relatively more of its portfolio to the security type that the Adviser expects to offer the best balance between current income and risk. Some of the corporate debt securities in which the Fund invests are considered to be foreign securities, which are securities of issuers based outside of the United States. The foreign securities in which the Fund invests will be predominately denominated in U.S. dollars. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest categories (BBB or higher) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The Fund may invest in derivative contracts (such as, for example, futures contracts) and/or hybrid instruments to implement elements of its investment strategy. For example, the Fund may use derivative contracts or hybrid instruments to increase or decrease the portfolios exposure to the investment(s) underlying the derivative contract or hybrid instrument in an attempt to benefit from changes in the value of the underlying investment(s). There can be no assurance that the Funds use of derivative contracts or hybrid instruments will work as intended. Derivative investments made by the Fund are included within the Funds 80% policy (as described below) and are calculated at market value. Consistent with the Funds benchmark, the Fund may, from time to time, have larger allocations to certain broad market sectors in attempting to achieve its investment objective. The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, to a lesser extent, the Fund may invest in certain GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Although the value of the Funds Shares will fluctuate, the Adviser will seek to manage the magnitude of fluctuation by limiting, under normal market conditions, the Funds dollar-weighted average maturity to between three and ten years and dollar-weighted average duration to between three and seven years. Maturity reflects the time until a fixed-income security becomes payable. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. The Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in corporate fixed-income investments. The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policy that would enable the Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, less than 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in corporate fixed-income investments.
