The size of the companies in the Index changes with market conditions and the composition of the Index. The subadvisers use value-oriented investment approaches to identify companies in which to invest the Funds assets. Generally, the subadvisers select stocks that they believe meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) are undervalued relative to other securities in the same industry or market, (2) exhibit good or improving fundamentals, or (3) exhibit an identifiable catalyst (e.g., an event or company report that significantly affects the price of a security, such as an earnings report, new product launch, new legislation, or lawsuit) that could close the gap between market value and fair value over the next one to two years. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in depositary receipts, which are instruments issued by a bank that represent an interest in a foreign issuers securities. In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of the Funds total assets. These loans earn income for the Fund and are collateralized by cash and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Investors will be given at least 60 days written notice in advance of any change to the Funds 80% investment policy set forth above.
