Investment objective & strategy

As of April 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total return relative to its blended benchmark index, comprised of 60% S&P 500 Low Volatility Index, 20% S&P BMI International Developed Low Volatility Index and 20% Bloomberg U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bellwether Index (the Benchmark Index).

Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other funds or directly in underlying securities while using hedging techniques to manage portfolio risk and volatility. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Equity securities include those that are equity-based, such as ETFs that invest primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by, that invest in, or that derive their value from companies of any size or market capitalization. On average, the Fund aims to invest approximately 30% of its assets in ETFs or other securities that directly invest some of their assets in foreign … The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other funds or directly in underlying securities while using hedging techniques to manage portfolio risk and volatility. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Equity securities include those that are equity-based, such as ETFs that invest primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by, that invest in, or that derive their value from companies of any size or market capitalization. On average, the Fund aims to invest approximately 30% of its assets in ETFs or other securities that directly invest some of their assets in foreign securities, primarily from issuers in developed countries. The Fund also invests a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalent debt instruments. The fund may at times invest significantly in certain sectors. As market conditions change, the Funds effective equity exposure will change in an effort to manage overall Fund volatility, with a minimum effective equity exposure of 10% and a maximum effective equity exposure of 100% of the Funds total asset value. For the purposes of this Fund, effective equity exposure means the Funds equity investments plus any increase or reduction in exposure to equity markets due to the Funds investments in S&P 500 futures contracts or other derivatives. The Fund seeks to manage its effective equity exposure and its overall volatility by investing primarily in S&P 500 futures contracts and other derivative instruments. In periods when the Funds investment adviser expects higher volatility in the equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 , the Fund seeks to reduce its effective equity exposure and the overall volatility of its portfolio by either selling S&P 500 futures contracts (taking short positions in such contracts) or reducing its long positions in S&P 500 futures contracts. In periods when the Funds investment adviser expects lower volatility in the equity market, the Fund seeks to increase its effective equity exposure by purchasing S&P 500 futures contracts (taking long positions in such contracts) or reducing its short positions in S&P 500 futures contracts. Under normal market conditions, this hedging process will seek to target, over an extended period of years, an average annualized volatility in the returns of the Fund of approximately 10%. A 10% annualized volatility means that a majority of the time, annual returns should be within plus or minus 10% of expected returns. There can be no assurance that investment decisions made in seeking to manage Fund volatility will achieve the desired results, and the volatility of the Funds returns in any one year, or any longer period, may be higher or lower than 10%. To achieve its equity exposure and further manage the Funds overall volatility, the Fund may invest long or short in options on ETFs, options on equity indexes or equity index futures, volatility index (VIX) futures, and options on VIX futures. The use of futures contracts and other derivatives to change the Funds equity allocation and manage the Funds overall volatility has the effect of introducing leverage into the Funds portfolio. Leverage is introduced because the initial amount required to purchase a futures contract is small in relation to the nominal value of the contract. Despite any use of leverage, under normal circumstances the Funds effective equity exposure is not expected to exceed 100% of the Funds total asset value. In selecting investments, the Funds investment adviser considers factors such as, but not limited to, the Funds current and anticipated asset allocation positions, security pricing, industry outlook, current and anticipated interest rates, other market and economic conditions, and issuer operations. The Fund may also engage in frequent or short-term trading of securities and derivative instruments.
