Strategy. The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on ETFs, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts enable the Fund to pursue its objective without investing directly in the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the underlying index.

While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts enable the Fund to pursue its objective without investing directly in the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the underlying index. Certain of the Funds derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies in the underlying index and derivatives and other instruments whose performance is expected to correspond to that of the underlying index. Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Funds portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Funds exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Funds portfolio. The value of the Funds portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests. The Russell 2000 Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000 total market capitalization and consisting of capitalizations ranging from $ 7.1 million to $48 billion as of June 30, 2024. The Russell 3000 Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by total market capitalization, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. investable equity market. Certain of the companies included in the Russell 2000 Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (REITs). To the extent the Funds underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Funds investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Funds sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2024, the Fund has significant exposure to the Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold short-term U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund. Show less
