Triblend Rebalance A portion of each of sub-portfolio rebalances on or about the first business day of March, September or December of each year. Additionally, on or about the first business day of December of each year, the Fund rebalances the size of the three factors to ensure equal weighting. The Fund may change the frequency and timing of its scheduled rebalances at its sole discretion. The Fund may apply situational risk exposure constraints beyond the S&P Quality Rankings and S&P Global Ratings Issuer Credit Ratings in response to extraordinary market events. The Sub-Adviser generally uses a buy and hold strategy, executing trades only on or around each stock selection date, when cash flow activity occurs in the Fund and for dividend reinvestment purposes. The Sub-Adviser incorporates S&P Quality Rankings and S&P Global Ratings Issuer Credit Ratings in the selection process. S&P Quality Rankings Growth and stability of earnings and dividends are deemed key elements in establishing earnings and dividend rankings for common stocks. This process also takes into consideration certain adjustments and modifications deemed desirable in establishing such rankings. The final score for each stock is measured against a scoring matrix determined by an internal analysis of the scores of a large and representative sample of stocks. The range of scores in the array of this sample has been aligned with the following ladder of rankings: A+ Highest B- Lower A High C Lowest A- Above Average D In Reorganization B+ Average NR Not Ranked B Below Average S&P Global Ratings Issuer Credit Ratings S&P Global Ratings Issuer Credit Ratings (also known as credit ratings) express opinions about the ability and willingness of an issuer to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Credit ratings can also be used to determine the credit quality of an individual debt issue, such a corporate or municipal bond, and the relative likelihood that the issue may default. Credit ratings are not an absolute measure of default probability, since there are future events that cannot be foreseen. Credit ratings are not intended as guarantees of credit quality or as exact measures of the probability that a particular issuer or debt issue will default. S&P Global Ratings Issuer Credit Ratings opinions are based on analysis by experienced professionals who evaluate and interpret information received from issuers and other available sources to form a considered opinion. S&P Global Ratings analysts obtain information from public reports, as well as from interviews and discussions with the issuers management. They use that information and apply their analytical judgment to assess the entitys financial condition, operation performance, policies and risk management strategies. The Fund may invest in a combination of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to assist with fund rebalances and to meet redemption or purchase requests. The Fund may invest in financial futures, a type of derivative, to obtain market exposure consistent with the Funds investment objective and strategies, to provide liquidity for cash flows, to hedge dividend accruals or for other purposes that facilitate meeting the Funds objective.
