Investment Objective

A multi-manager Fund seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in mid-market capitalization U.S. stocks.

a TEAM OF MANAGERS

The Fund is sub-advised by three complementary asset managers:

  • Barrow: Constructs portfolios on a bottom-up basis, reflecting price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios below the market and a dividend yield above the market.
  • Pzena: Buys good businesses when they go on sale, focusing on companies whose stock price is low relative to normal earnings power; current earnings are below normal; and management has a reasonable plan for earnings recovery.
  • WEDGE: Focuses on identifying pricing discrepancies or unrecognized value among high quality market-leading companies that have defendable competitive advantages.

STRENGTH IN DIVERSIFICATION

The multi-manager approach brings diversification to the Fund and helps protect it from single-manager risk.

  • The Fund typically holds 100 to 130 positions.
  • Bottom-up portfolio construction lends itself to a portfolio that is well diversified at the security, industry and stock level.
  • Fund assets may include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, American Depositary Receipts and foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges.

Investing in medium-capitalization stocks may involve greater volatility and lower liquidity than larger company stocks. Investing in value stocks may limit downside risk over time; however, the Fund may produce more modest gains than riskier stock funds as a trade-off for this potentially lower risk. Investing in foreign securities may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations and economic and political risks. The use of futures contracts for cash management may subject the Fund to losing more money than invested. The Fund participates in a securities lending program. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of this Fund will be met.
