Strategy. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers throughout the world. The Portfolio seeks to diversify its portfolio broadly among developed and emerging countries and among multiple asset classes. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 40% of its net assets in foreign assets. If market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser, the Portfolio could invest a lower percentage, but at least 30% of its net assets in foreign assets. An asset may be determined to be foreign based on the issuers domicile, principal place of business, stock exchange listing, source of revenue, or other factors. Foreign securities may also include depositary receipts. … Show more… The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers throughout the world. The Portfolio seeks to diversify its portfolio broadly among developed and emerging countries and among multiple asset classes. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 40% of its net assets in foreign assets. If market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser, the Portfolio could invest a lower percentage, but at least 30% of its net assets in foreign assets. An asset may be determined to be foreign based on the issuers domicile, principal place of business, stock exchange listing, source of revenue, or other factors. Foreign securities may also include depositary receipts. The Portfolio may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in derivatives such as futures contracts to either hedge its exposure or gain exposure to certain investments. Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change. The Portfolio will generally make the following allocations among the broad asset classes listed below: International large- and mid-cap equity 0-90% International small-cap equity 0-30% Emerging markets equity 0-25% U.S. securities 0-10% The Portfolios actual holdings in each broad asset category may be outside the applicable allocation range from time to time due to differing investment performances among asset classes. These allocations may change without shareholder approval or advance notice to shareholders to the extent consistent with applicable law. In buying and selling securities for the Portfolio, the Adviser uses an active strategy. This strategy consists of a disciplined approach that involves computer-aided, quantitative analysis of fundamental, technical and risk-related factors. The Advisers factor model (a method of analyzing and combining multiple data sources) systematically reviews thousands of stocks, using data such as historical earnings growth and expected future growth, valuation, price momentum, and other quantitative factors to forecast return potential. Then, risk characteristics of potential investments and covariation among securities are analyzed along with the return forecasts in determining the Portfolios holdings. Show less
