Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other funds and directly in securities, while using hedging techniques to manage portfolio risk and volatility. The Fund achieves its equity exposure by investing primarily in large capitalization equity securities or in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in large capitalization equity securities. The Funds sub-advisor considers a company to be a large capitalization company if it has a market capitalization at the time of purchase within the range of companies included in the S&P 500 Index.

The Fund achieves its equity exposure by investing primarily in large capitalization equity securities or in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in large capitalization equity securities. The Funds sub-advisor considers a company to be a large capitalization company if it has a market capitalization at the time of purchase within the range of companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund achieves its fixed income exposure by investing primarily in fixed income securities that are investment-grade corporate bonds, ETFs that invest in investment-grade fixed income securities, exchange-traded notes (ETNs), interest rate swaps, treasury and interest rate futures, or other instruments that have characteristics similar to the fixed income securities included in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Funds investments in fixed income securities may include privately placed securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) but may be resold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (Rule 144A Securities). Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to maintain an average dollar-weighted effective duration for its fixed income portfolio of less than 10 years. Duration measures the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates. For example, an investment with a two-year duration means that it will decrease in value by 2% if interest rates rise 1%. Conversely, the investment will increase in value by 2% if interest rates fall 1%. Over time, the Fund targets approximately 60% equity exposure and 40% fixed income exposure in its portfolio. As market conditions change, however, and to manage overall Fund volatility under certain market conditions, the equity and fixed income exposures may change, with a minimum equity allocation of 10% and a maximum equity allocation of 90% of the Funds total market value. Under normal market conditions the Fund may keep approximately 15% of the Funds total assets in cash or cash equivalents. In selecting investments, the Funds sub-advisor 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 and other market and economic conditions, general levels of debt prices and issuer operations. The Fund may also engage in frequent or short-term trading of securities and derivative instruments. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, primarily by holding long and/or short positions in S&P 500 futures contracts, to manage the Funds equity volatility. The Funds investments in derivatives may also include investments in options. In periods when the Funds sub-advisor expects higher volatility in the equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 , the Fund will seek to reduce the equity 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. During periods of lower expected volatility in the equity market, the Fund will seek to increase its equity exposure by purchasing S&P 500 futures contracts (increasing its long positions) or reducing its short positions in such contracts. Under normal market conditions, this hedging process targets, over an extended period of years, an average annualized volatility in the daily total returns of the Fund of approximately 10%. The Funds use of S&P 500 , treasury and interest rate futures contracts and interest rate swaps 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 notional value of such contract. Show less
