Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities, and employing derivatives to enhance income and/or provide downside protection.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio sub-advisor seeks to achieve the fundamental investment objective of the Fund by looking for companies that are undervalued and/or offer the potential for above-average earnings growth. The portfolio sub-advisor employs a combination of proprietary financial models and bottom-up fundamental research to identify companies that are selling at what appear to be substantial discounts to their long-term intrinsic value.
