Investment objective & strategy

As of April 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and moderate current income while seeking to manage volatility.

Strategy. Wellington Management Company LLP, the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), seeks to achieve the Fund's objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments and investment grade fixed income and other debt investments. Under normal circumstances, the Subadviser anticipates that approximately 60-70% of the Fund's assets will be allocated to equity investments and 30-40% of the Fund's assets will be allocated to fixed income and other debt investments. The Fund's assets are allocated among these asset classes based on the Subadviser's assessment of the relative risks and returns of each asset class. The Fund's equity strategy seeks to provide long-term total returns by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies and, to a … Wellington Management Company LLP, the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), seeks to achieve the Fund's objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments and investment grade fixed income and other debt investments. Under normal circumstances, the Subadviser anticipates that approximately 60-70% of the Fund's assets will be allocated to equity investments and 30-40% of the Fund's assets will be allocated to fixed income and other debt investments. The Fund's assets are allocated among these asset classes based on the Subadviser's assessment of the relative risks and returns of each asset class. The Fund's equity strategy seeks to provide long-term total returns by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies and, to a lesser extent, U.S. mid-capitalization companies and foreign companies. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Subadviser will allocate the Fund's assets in the equity strategy across a variety of industries, selecting companies in each industry based on the research of the Subadviser's team of global industry analysts. The Fund will typically seek to maintain representation in each major industry represented by broad-based, large-capitalization U.S. equity indices. The Subadviser may invest up to 15% of the Fund's net assets allocated to the equity strategy in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar denominated securities. In analyzing a prospective investment for the Fund's equity strategy, the Subadviser employs a "bottom-up" approach, using fundamental analysis to identify specific securities for purchase or sale. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the Subadviser's assessment of a variety of factors, including the company's business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of valuation and growth potential. The Fund's fixed income strategy seeks to provide long-term total returns by investing primarily in a broad range of high-quality U.S. fixed income securities (typically rated AA- or better by S&P Global (Ratings) ("S&P") or Aa3 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or its equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO")). The Fund's fixed income investments primarily include U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, taxable municipal bonds, and investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate and sovereign debt securities. The Subadviser will not invest the Fund's assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase or securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Subadviser may invest in fixed income-related derivatives, including, but not limited to futures contracts, forward transactions, options and swap agreements. The Subadviser typically may sell investments when it believes that they no longer offer attractive future returns compared with other investment opportunities or that they present undesirable risks or in an attempt to limit losses on investments that may decline or have declined in value.
