The Funds investment adviser seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by investing in a combination of equity, fixed income and alternative strategy exchange traded funds (ETFs), exchange traded notes (ETNs) and mutual funds (together, Underlying Funds). The Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests each primarily invest in (1) U.S. common stocks, (2) foreign common stocks, (3) U.S. fixed income securities, (4) foreign fixed income securities or (5) alternative investments including managed futures, master-limited partnerships, commodities, and long-short strategies. Equity Underlying Funds may follow a growth or value-investing style and may include those that invest in small-cap, mid-cap or large cap companies. The adviser invests Fund assets in fixed income Underlying Funds without restriction as to minimum issuer credit quality, sector, capitalization, country of origin, or security maturity. Fixed income Underlying Funds may invest in non-investment grade fixed income securities, commonly known as high yield or junk bonds that are rated below Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service or similarly by another rating agency. Foreign equity Underlying Funds may invest in common stock of companies located in emerging market countries. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in Underlying Funds that primarily invest in foreign securities.
The Funds adviser invests the Funds assets in the Underlying Funds in accordance with the following ranges:
Equity | 40-70% |
Fixed Income | 20-50% |
Alternatives | 0-20% |
The Funds adviser makes tactical reallocations or rebalances in response to market conditions. Such reallocations or rebalances may be within an asset class (e.g. shifting between market capitalizations, geographic regions, credit qualities or durations) or between asset classes (e.g. shifting some of the Funds assets allocated to equity into fixed income).
