Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities listed in the Russell 2000 Index (the Index). Under normal circumstances, however, the Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in securities of companies included in the Index and close substitutes (such as index futures contracts or other investment companies) that are designed to track the Index. The Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies (based on total market capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index.

Under normal circumstances, however, the Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in securities of companies included in the Index and close substitutes (such as index futures contracts or other investment companies) that are designed to track the Index. The Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies (based on total market capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. The Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually in June. The Fund will concentrate (invest 25% or more of the value of its assets) in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry if the Index is also concentrated in such industry. While the Funds sector and industry exposure is expected to vary over time, as of February 28, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard. The Funds investments in small capitalization companies may include micro-capitalization companies. The Sub-Adviser does not manage the Fund according to traditional methods of active investment management, which involve the buying and selling of securities based upon economic, financial and market analysis and investment judgment. Instead, the Sub-Adviser utilizes a passive or indexing investment approach, seeking to replicate the investment performance that, before expenses, corresponds generally to the total return of the Index. The Sub-Adviser seeks to replicate the returns of the Index by investing in the securities of the Index in approximately their Index weight. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those securities in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of stocks in the Index in proportions expected to match generally the performance of the Index as a whole. In addition, from time to time, stocks are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell stocks that are represented in the Index, or purchase stocks that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. The Sub-Adviser may at times purchase or sell futures contracts in lieu of investment directly in the stocks making up the Index. The Sub-Adviser might do so, for example, in order to increase the Funds investment exposure pending investment of cash in the stocks comprising the Index. Alternatively, the Sub-Adviser might use futures to reduce its investment exposure to the Index in situations where it intends to sell a portion of the stocks in the Funds portfolio but the sale has not yet been completed.
