The BBB-rated bonds are defined by the Bloomberg index methodology. The Fund seeks to approximate returns of bonds rated within the BBB category by any credit rating agency currently registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as NRSROs. The weighted average duration of the BBB Bond Fund will generally range from four to eight years. Duration is a measure of a debt securitys price sensitivity. Higher duration indicates bonds that are more sensitive to interest rate changes. Bonds with shorter duration reduce the risk associated with interest rates. Duration takes into account a debt securitys cash flows over time, including assumptions about the timing of how a debt security might be prepaid by the issuer or redeemed by the holder prior to its stated maturity date. In contrast, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. In selecting investments for the BBB Bond Fund, the Adviser will primarily consider credit quality, duration and yield. The BBB Bond Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars, including issuers located in emerging markets. In its effort to provide a total rate of return that approximates that of bonds rated within the BBB category as defined by the Bloomberg index methodology, the BBB Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in futures, options and other derivatives. The Fund may sometimes use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in bonds rated BBB or Baa and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce or increase exposure to other risks, such as interest rate risk.
