Strategy. The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Underlying Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (S&P DJI or the Index Provider) compiles, maintains and calculates the Underlying Index, which is composed of a subset of securities from the S&P 500 Index (the Parent Index) that exhibit strong growth characteristics. First, each security in the Parent Index is assigned two style scores one for growth and one for value based on the characteristics of the issuer. The growth score is measured using three factors: three-year sales per share growth rate, the ratio of the three-year net change in earnings per share to current … Show more… The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Underlying Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (S&P DJI or the Index Provider) compiles, maintains and calculates the Underlying Index, which is composed of a subset of securities from the S&P 500 Index (the Parent Index) that exhibit strong growth characteristics. First, each security in the Parent Index is assigned two style scores one for growth and one for value based on the characteristics of the issuer. The growth score is measured using three factors: three-year sales per share growth rate, the ratio of the three-year net change in earnings per share to current price per share, and momentum (the 12-month percentage change in price). The value score is measured using three other factors: book-value-to-price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio. The securities in the Parent Index are then ranked based on their relative growth and value scores. Unlike other style indices that may contain all securities within the Parent Index, including overlapping constituents that exhibit both growth and value characteristics, the Underlying Index is narrower in focus and excludes any overlapping securities demonstrating both growth and value characteristics and includes only those securities that exhibit pure growth characteristics. The Underlying Index weights constituents according to their growth scores, such that securities demonstrating the strongest growth characteristics generally receive proportionally greater weights. As of June 30, 2025, the Underlying Index was comprised of 90 constituents with market capitalizations ranging from $8.9 billion to $3.9 trillion. The Fund employs a full replication methodology in seeking to track the Underlying Index, meaning that the Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings in the Underlying Index. The Fund intends to be diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), to the extent that the Underlying Index is diversified. The Fund may become non-diversified as defined in the 1940 Act solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. Should the Fund become non-diversified, it will no longer be required to meet certain diversification requirements under the 1940 Act and may invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of a small group of issuers or in any one individual issuer than can a diversified fund. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status solely due to a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. In seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Fund was managed as diversified as of April 30, 2025. Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying Index reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. Show less
