Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. issuers and derivatives with similar economic characteristics. Investments in derivatives are counted toward the Funds 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. This policy is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without 60 days prior notice to the Funds shareholders.

Investments in derivatives are counted toward the Funds 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. This policy is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without 60 days prior notice to the Funds shareholders. For purposes of the Funds 80% policy, equity securities are considered to be those of U.S. issuers where (i) the company is domiciled in the U.S., (ii) the company is listed on a U.S. stock exchange, (iii) the companys principal operations are conducted in the U.S. or the company does a substantial amount of business in the U.S. or (iv) the issuer of securities is included in the Funds primary U.S. benchmark. Such equity securities include, but are not limited to, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depositary receipts, and securities and other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock. The combination of equity securities will be varied from time to time both with respect to types of securities and markets in response to changing market and economic trends. The Fund is actively managed using an unconstrained investment style (i.e., it will not take a benchmark index into account when selecting the Funds investments). Fund management, in its sole discretion, may invest in securities that are not included in the S&P 500 Index. The Funds portfolio holdings are expected to deviate materially from the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may have exposure to a limited number of different investments, countries and/or sectors. The Fund may use derivatives, including options, futures, swaps and forward contracts both to seek to increase the return of the Fund and to hedge (or protect) the value of its assets against adverse movements in currency exchange rates, interest rates and movements in the securities markets. In order to effectively manage cash flows into or out of the Fund, the Fund may buy and sell financial futures contracts or options on such contracts. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from another security, a commodity (such as oil or gas), a currency or an index. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities directly or indirectly secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies that invest in real estate or interests therein such as stock, bonds or convertible bonds issued by real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in equity securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). In addition to investing in foreign securities, the Fund may manage its exposure to foreign currencies through the use of forward currency contracts and other currency derivatives. However, foreign exchange risk is not expected to be systematically hedged. From time to time, the Fund may own foreign cash equivalents or foreign bank deposits as part of the Funds investment strategy. The Fund may also invest in non-U.S. currencies. The Fund may invest in the securities of companies of any market capitalization. The Fund may invest in indexed and inverse securities. The Fund generally seeks to implement a long-term investment philosophy in order to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital growth. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act).
