The Portfolio will invest at least 25% of its total assets (concentrate its investments) in securities issued by companies in the utilities group of industries. In addition to concentrating on particular industries, the Portfolio may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers than a diversified fund. FIAM LLC, the Portfolios Subadvisor, does not place any emphasis on income when selecting securities, except when it believes that income may have a favorable effect on a securitys market value. The Subadvisor normally invests the Portfolios assets primarily in equity securities. The Portfolio may invest in domestic and foreign securities without limitation. An issuer of a security is considered to be a U.S. or foreign issuer based on the issuer's "country of risk" (or similar designation) as determined by a third-party such as Bloomberg. The Subadvisor may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, to increase or decrease a funds exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. Investment Process: In buying and selling securities for the Portfolio, the Subadvisor relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment, including macro and quantitative support, of a companys potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.
