Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide a balanced portfolio by investing primarily in exchange traded funds that invest in fixed income and equity securities. The fund may also invest in other mutual funds or invest directly in fixed income securities and cash or cash equivalents.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: employs a strategic asset allocation strategy; the fund’s asset class weightings will be approximately 40% in fixed income securities and 60% in equity securitiesk; may invest up to 100% of the fund’s assets in securities of underlying funds, with such underlying funds expected to be predominantly or exclusively underlying funds that are managed by us or one of our affiliates or associates.
