The fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC, an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., seeks to create a portfolio for the fund that includes a blend of growth and dividend-paying stocks, as well as other investments that provide income. The sub-adviser chooses stocks through a disciplined investment process that combines computer modeling techniques, bottom-up fundamental analysis and risk management. The fund's investment process is designed to provide investors with investment exposure to sector weightings and risk characteristics similar to those of the S&P 500 Index. In selecting securities, the fund's sub-adviser seeks companies that possess some or all of the following characteristics: growth of earnings potential; operating margin improvement; revenue growth prospects; business improvement; good business fundamentals; dividend yield consistent with the fund's strategy pertaining to income; value, or how a stock is priced relative to its perceived intrinsic worth; and healthy financial profile, which measures the financial wellbeing of the company. The fund's sub-adviser monitors the positions in the fund's portfolio, and considers selling a security if the company's business momentum deteriorates or valuation becomes excessive. The fund also may sell a security if an event occurs that contradicts the sub-adviser's rationale for owning it, such as deterioration in the company's financial fundamentals. In addition, the fund may sell a security if the sub-adviser determines a better investment opportunity emerges elsewhere, or if the sub-adviser changes the fund's industry or sector weightings.
