<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial" size="2"><b>Portfolio Turnover </b></font>
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">As its primary strategy, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities (the "Component Securities") of the Underlying Index, depositary receipts representing Component Securities and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the Component Securities of the Underlying Index. Such securities may include domestic and international equity securities (including common stocks and real estate investment trusts) and fixed income securities (including bonds, treasury bills and notes, mortgage real estate investment trusts, cash, cash equivalents and short-term money market instruments). The domestic equity portion may include securities from all capitalization ranges. Only investment-grade fixed income securities are eligible for inclusion in the fixed income portion of the Underlying Index. The Fund employs a representative sampling indexing strategy in managing the portfolio by holding equity securities and fixed income securities that, in the aggregate, are intended to approximate the Underlying Index in terms of key characteristics, such as price/earnings ratio, earnings growth, maturity, duration, or dividend yield.

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial" size="2"><b>Principal Investment Strategies</b></font>
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">As its primary strategy, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities (the "Component Securities") of the Underlying Index, depositary receipts representing Component Securities and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the Component Securities of the Underlying Index. Such securities may include domestic and international equity securities (including common stocks and real estate investment trusts) and fixed income securities (including bonds, treasury bills and notes, mortgage real estate investment trusts, cash, cash equivalents and short-term money market instruments). The domestic equity portion may include securities from all capitalization ranges. Only investment-grade fixed income securities are eligible for inclusion in the fixed income portion of the Underlying Index. The Fund employs a representative sampling indexing strategy in managing the portfolio by holding equity securities and fixed income securities that, in the aggregate, are intended to approximate the Underlying Index in terms of key characteristics, such as price/earnings ratio, earnings growth, maturity, duration, or dividend yield. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' notice of any change in these policies. </font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Underlying Index is comprised of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income, and is designed to represent a diversified portfolio of securities with the potential to outperform the Lipper Mixed-Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index, on a risk adjusted basis. The Underlying Index is designed for persons who are at or near their target date at the time of investment and has a current allocation of approximately 6% in international equities, 22% in domestic equities and 72% in fixed income and will be systematically reconstituted and rebalanced annually, or quarterly when necessary, pursuant to a proprietary methodology developed by Zacks Investment Research ("Zacks"), the creator of the Underlying Index. Since the inception of the Fund, the duration for the fixed income securities increase each year up to a maximum duration of five years. At inception, the Underlying Index had approximately a 10% allocation to equity securities. Over the next two years, allocations will shift from conservative to more moderately-conservative allocations, allowing for a larger exposure to equities than at inception ("Moderately-Conservative Allocation"). The securities in the universe are selected using a proprietary methodology developed by Zacks. Investors should note that the allocations listed above, and in the table below, are as of June 30, 2012. </font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The following chart shows how the investment glidepath for the Fund is expected to gradually shift to a Moderately-Conservative Allocation.

The Fund’s total return, like stock prices generally, will fluctuate within a wide range, so an investor could lose money over short or even long periods. Stock markets tend to be volatile, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. The stock market has been subject to significant volatility recently which has increased the risks associated with an investment in the Fund. </font></blockquote></li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"><blockquote><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund is subject to <i>index risk</i>, which is the risk that securities in the Underlying Index may under-perform fixed income investments or stock market investments that track other markets, segments or sectors.
