Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide a combination of long-term capital appreciation with a secondary focus on income generation. The Portfolio seeks to accomplish its objective by primarily investing in securities of Underlying Funds and/or ETFs. These Underlying Funds and/or ETFs generally invest in domestic and global equity securities and/or domestic and global fixed income securities.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio sub-advisor employs a strategic asset allocation process and has the ability to make tactical calls depending on its view on market conditions at a point in time. The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in various Underlying Funds and/or ETFs, many of which are also managed by us. The Portfolio may also invest a portion of its assets in securities, guaranteed investment certificates, cash and short-term money market instruments.
