Adaptive Allocation Portfolio
RISK/RETURN
Investment Objective:

The Portfolio’s investment objectives are to provide growth and risk-adjusted total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio:

This table describes the annual operating expenses that you may indirectly pay if you invest in the Portfolio through your retirement plan or if you allocate your insurance contract premiums or payments to the Portfolio. However, each insurance contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not described in this Prospectus. If the fees and expenses of your insurance contract or separate account were included in this table, your overall expenses would be higher. You should review the insurance contract prospectus for a complete description of fees and expenses.

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Adaptive Allocation Portfolio
Management Fees 1.00%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees [1] 0.50%
Other Expenses 0.42%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses [2] 0.76%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses 2.68%
[1] Shareholders of the Portfolio may pay annual 12b-1 expenses of up to 1.00%. Currently, the Board has authorized the Portfolio to pay 12b-1 fees at an annual rate of up to 0.50%. Shareholders will receive advance notice of any increase. A portion of the fee payable pursuant to the plan, equal to 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, is currently characterized as a service fee, which may be paid out to entities providing maintenance of shareholder accounts and certain other shareholder services. The adviser may receive such service fees with respect to Portfolio accounts for which it provides shareholder servicing. An additional 0.01% of Distribution fees were voluntarily waived during the last fiscal year end, such that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were actually 2.67%.
[2] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio
Example:

 This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each insurance contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:

 The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 243 % of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies:

The Portfolio’s adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objectives by allocating assets in a combination of (1) open-end investment companies (mutual funds), (2) exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), (3) closed-end investment companies (collectively "Underlying Funds"), and (4) equity and debt securities, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) using the adviser's proprietary technical and fundamental screening models. Although the Portfolio’s strategy is focused primarily on the capital appreciation component of its total return objective, the income component of the objective is derived primarily from interest income from fixed income securities, and stock dividends. The phrase “risk-adjusted” in the Portfolio’s objective refers to the goal of enhancing total return by reducing loses when markets are declining. The Portfolio defines equity securities as common and preferred stock, convertible securities, warrants, and ADRs for common and preferred stocks. The Portfolio may also take short positions in common stocks. The Portfolio’s adviser selects securities from issuers of any market capitalization, credit quality or country. The Portfolio may invest in fixed income securities that are sometimes referred to as "high yield" or “junk” bonds. The Portfolio defines high yield bonds as those rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poor's Rating Group ("S&P"), or if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of similar quality. Such securities are considered speculative investments that carry greater risk of default.


The Underlying Funds include high beta index funds (“HBIFs”), which are mutual funds and ETFs that track an equity or fixed income index by investing in leveraged instruments such as equity index swaps, futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. HBIFs are more volatile than the benchmark index they track and typically don’t invest directly in the securities included in the benchmark, or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in that benchmark. HBIFs seek to provide investment results that will match a certain percentage greater than 100% of the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. For example, if a HBIF’s current benchmark is 200% of the S&P 500 Index and it meets its objective, the value of the HBIF will tend to increase on a daily basis 200% of any increase in the underlying index (if the S&P 500 Index goes up 5% then the HBIF’s value should go up 10%). When the value of the underlying index declines, the value of the HBIF’s shares should also decrease on a daily basis by 200% of the value of any decrease in the underlying index (if the S&P 500 Index goes down 5% then the value of the HBIF should go down 10%).


The Portfolio may invest in foreign markets. The Underlying Funds include ETFs which invest primarily in foreign equity or fixed income securities, including emerging market ETFs and foreign bond funds. ADRs are traded on U.S. exchanges and represent an ownership interest in a foreign security. They are generally issued by a U.S. bank or trust as a substitute for direct ownership of the foreign security. The Portfolio typically will not invest directly in foreign securities, but will, in any case, limit such direct foreign investments to 25% of its net assets.


The adviser uses proprietary models to determine the types and amounts of securities in the Portfolio’s portfolio. The models used are technical and fundamental. The technical models are proprietary trading strategies based on applying certain mathematical properties (such as linear regressions and weighted moving averages) to the value of a stock index (such as the S&P 500, Russell 2000, or MSCI Emerging Markets Index) or a bond category or index (such as inflation-protected securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds , or foreign bonds). The technical models seek to invest in the market when the trends suggest lower risk and not invest in the market when the trends suggest higher risk.  The adviser uses the models to seek optimum returns relative to reduced risk for the Portfolio. The fundamental models are proprietary trading strategies that search a monthly database of profit/loss and balance sheet figures to identify investment candidates. Such figures include, but are not limited to, revenue, earnings, margins, total return, income and p/e ratio. The fundamental models are used to select all of the Portfolio’s direct investments in stocks, and the technical models are generally used to select Underlying Funds. The proportion of Portfolio assets invested under either type of model will vary with the adviser’s investment allocation and risk reduction strategies, as well as with market conditions. Generally, securities are purchased to fulfill the adviser's asset allocation targets and specific equity securities are selected based upon the adviser's fundamental screening criteria (e.g. revenue, earnings, margins, total return, income, p/e ratio, etc.). Securities are sold when they no longer meet the adviser's fundamental criteria, stop-loss limits are reached, or to rebalance asset class allocations. The adviser may sell common stock short when it believes the value of the company's stock will depreciate and covers (buys back) the shares when a target price has been reached. The adviser's use of its proprietary models typically results in active trading and the adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of portfolio securities to achieve the Portfolio's investment objectives.


Although current income is not the Portfolio’s primary focus, it may invest in Underlying Funds that, in turn, invest in long, medium, or short-term bonds, foreign bonds, and other fixed income securities of varying credit quality, whenever the adviser believes they offer a potential for capital appreciation, for example high yield bond funds. Typically, the Portfolio will not invest directly in bonds and other fixed income securities. However, if warranted pursuant to the adviser’s proprietary investment models, the Portfolio may pursue such direct investments to the extent the adviser deems them consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Portfolio. Many factors affect the Portfolio’s net asset value and performance.


  • Derivatives Risk:  The Portfolio may invest in Underlying Funds that use derivatives (including options, futures and options on futures) to invest or to hedge. An Underlying Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.


  • Emerging Market Risk:   In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in securities of foreign companies, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues.


  • Equity Risk:  The net asset value of the Portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities held by the Portfolio or Underlying Funds that invest in U.S. and/or foreign equity securities. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.


  • Fixed Income Risk:  The value of the Portfolio's investments in fixed income securities whether held directly or through Underlying Funds, will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the Portfolio’s investments decreases. In addition, Underlying Funds may invest in high yield bonds sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.”  These bonds are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality fixed income securities.


  • Foreign Risk:  When the Portfolio invests in foreign securities directly or through ADRs or Underlying Funds, the Portfolio could be subject to greater risks because the Portfolio’s performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular U.S. company or U.S. market sector. Foreign securities typically have less financial disclosure than U.S. securities and may expose the Portfolio to tax, currency exchange rate and repatriation risks.

     

  • Issuer-Specific Risks:  The price of an individual security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can fluctuate differently than the market as a whole. An individual issuer’s securities can rise or fall dramatically with little or no warning based upon such things as a better (or worse) than expected earnings report, news about the development of a promising product or service, or the loss of key management personnel.


  • Management Risk:  The adviser's dependence on technical and fundamental models and judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes, securities and Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.


  • Portfolio Turnover Risk:  As to the portion of the portfolio invested in ETFs, closed-end investment companies, equities and fixed income securities, turnover may result in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs. The adviser's investment style will likely result in most capital gains within the portfolio being realized as short-term capital gains which will be subject to higher tax rates than long-term capital gains.


  • Short Position Risk:  The Portfolio will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Portfolio purchases an offsetting position. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The Portfolio's losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.


  • Underlying Funds Risk:  Mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, the cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in other investment companies and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. The ETFs in which the Portfolio invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track and the market value of ETF and closed-end fund shares may differ from their net asset value. Each investment company and ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund.

Portfolio Turnover:

 The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 390% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies:

 The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of long and short positions in equity securities (which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, shares of open-end and closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")), futures contracts, options on futures contracts and U.S. Treasury instruments. The open-end and closed-end investment companies may include those that invest in equity and fixed income securities (including lower rated, high yield "junk" bonds). The Portfolio defines high yield junk bonds as those rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or below BBB- by Standard and Poor's Rating Group, or if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of similar quality. The ETFs and other investment companies are referred to as “Underlying Funds” in this Prospectus.


In general, the Portfolio’s investments in equity securities, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and high yield bonds are intended to achieve the capital appreciation component, and the Portfolio’s investments in money market instruments, fixed income securities (including high yield bonds) and to a lesser extent U.S. Treasuries, are intended to achieve the income component of the Portfolio's total return objective. The Portfolio typically invests in U.S. Treasuries with maturities of any duration, or their derivatives, and the Portfolio's allocation of its investments between the equity and fixed income market segments may vary without limitation. The Portfolio may sell securities short and establish short positions in derivatives for both investment and hedging purposes.


The Portfolio will invest in specific market segments when the adviser’s proprietary investment models indicate a high probability that the applicable investments in such chosen market segments are likely to outperform investments in other market segments. The Portfolio will sell interests or reduce its investment exposure among specific market segments when the adviser’s models indicate that investments in such markets are likely to underperform. The Portfolio sells short securities that the adviser believes are overvalued or to hedge all or a portion of the Portfolio's portfolio. The Portfolio covers (buys back) these securities when the adviser believes they have reached their target price or the adviser's proprietary investment models indicate that hedging is no longer needed. The Portfolio’s adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of portfolio securities to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective.


Investing in futures contracts or options on such futures contracts requires an investment of only a small portion of the Portfolio’s assets in order to produce a return that approximates the return of the underlying bond or stock index. This effect is referred to as “leverage.”  The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund.

Principal Investment Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Portfolio. Many factors affect the Portfolio’s net asset value and performance.


  • Derivatives Risk. Even a small investment in derivatives (which include futures and options on futures) may give rise to leverage risk, and can have a significant impact on the Portfolio's performance. Derivatives are also subject to credit risk and liquidity risk.

  • Fixed Income Risk.  When the Portfolio invests in fixed income securities directly or indirectly by investing in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities, the value of the Portfolio will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Defaults by fixed income issuers in which the Portfolio invests will also harm performance.

  • High-Yield Bond Risk. Lower-quality bonds, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Portfolio’s ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Portfolio’s share price.

  • Issuer-Specific Risk.  The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform worse than the market as a whole.

  • Leveraging Risk. The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will magnify the Portfolio's gains or losses.

  • Management Risk.  The adviser's judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular security or instrument in which the Portfolio invests may prove to be incorrect.

  • Non-Diversification Risk. The Portfolio has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.


  • Short Sale Risk. Positions in shorted securities are often speculative and riskier than "long" positions (purchases). Unlike long positions, losses on short positions are potentially unlimited.


  • Stock Market Risk.  Stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

  • Turnover Risk.  A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.

  • Underlying Fund Risk.  Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments.

Portfolio Turnover:

 The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 123% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies:

 Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. common stocks.  The Portfolio is widely diversified by industry and company, with a focus on small- and medium-size companies.  Small- and medium-size companies are often companies in the earlier period of their growth expectations, from start-ups to better-established firms that have a smaller market capitalization.  Extensive research efforts can play a greater role in selecting securities of smaller and medium size companies than in selecting securities of larger companies.


Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) is the Portfolio’s sub-adviser.  CEP uses a disciplined investment strategy, utilizing a proprietary multi-factor model to select securities for the Portfolio. The model includes momentum, value, growth and quality factors. The process focuses on security selection while remaining industry, sector and style neutral. CEP seeks to consistently apply an objective, quantitative, fundamental investment approach that identifies stocks that it believes are overvalued and undervalued within industry sectors.


The sub-adviser typically sells a security when it reaches its appreciation potential, it no longer meets CEP's model investment criteria, it has deteriorating fundamentals, or when more attractive investment opportunities are available.

Principal Investment Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Portfolio.  Many factors affect the Portfolio’s net asset value and performance.


  • Management Risk.CEP’s investment techniques may be unsuccessful and cause the Portfolio to incur losses.


  • Market Risk.  The market value of the Portfolio’s investments will fluctuate as the stock market fluctuates.


  • Portfolio Turnover Risk.  Higher portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs.


  • Small- and Medium-Size Company Risk.  The value of a small or medium capitalization company stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies.

Portfolio Turnover:

 The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 103 % of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies:

 Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests approximately 65-70% of its assets in equity securities, and the remainder in a combination of fixed-income securities.


  • The Portfolio may invest more than 70% of its assets in stocks if conditions in the stock market are considered to be more favorable than those in the bond market.
      

  • The Portfolio may invest more than 30% of its assets in fixed-income securities if conditions in the bond market are considered to be more favorable than those in the stock market.


The equity portion of the Portfolio is invested primarily in U.S. common stocks. The equity portion of the Portfolio is widely diversified by industry and company, with a focus on large- and medium-size companies. Medium-size companies are companies often in the earlier period of their growth expectations, from start-ups to better-established firms that have a smaller market capitalization.  Extensive research efforts can play a greater role in selecting securities of medium size companies than in selecting securities of larger companies.


Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) is the Portfolio’s sub-adviser.  CEP uses a disciplined investment strategy, utilizing a proprietary multi-factor model to select securities for the Portfolio.  The model includes momentum, value, growth and quality factors. The process focuses on security selection while remaining industry, sector, style and capitalization neutral. CEP seeks to consistently apply an objective, quantitative, fundamental investment approach that identifies securities that it believes are overvalued and undervalued within industry sectors.


The fixed income portion of the Portfolio is invested primarily in:


  • U.S. Treasury securities;

  • U.S. Government Agency Securities;

  • U.S. corporate bonds;

  • Yankee Bonds (U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued in the U.S. by foreign banks, corporations, sovereigns and supranational entities);

  • Non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds;

  • Asset backed securities;

  • Municipal securities; and

  • Commercial paper.


There is no particular range of length of maturity or duration with respect to the types of bonds in which the Portfolio may invest.  Further, some of the Portfolio’s investments may be below investment grade fixed-income securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”), which offer higher return potential in exchange for assuming greater risk.  Below investment grade securities are normally rated BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch Ratings, or Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, if unrated, deemed by CEP or the Adviser to be of comparable credit.  The bonds in the Portfolio will have a minimum rating of Caa/CCC.


With respect to the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, CEP uses a risk-controlled, low-volatility process that is designed to increase the likelihood of outperforming the benchmark, while maintaining a level of risk similar to the benchmark.  The investment process involves performance enhancement strategies and risk management techniques, as well as proprietary quantitative analysis, which provides a framework for identifying and evaluating opportunities in the bond market. The performance enhancement strategies focus on the proprietary model’s momentum and value factors to select securities that CEP believes will enhance the Portfolio’s returns.  The risk management techniques involve screening of investments to decrease the Portfolio’s volatility.  The qualitative overlay incorporates information obtained through fundamental analysis of various segments of the bond market and provides a check to the quantitative process.


The sub-adviser typically sells a security when it reaches its appreciation potential, it no longer meets CEP's model investment criteria, it has deteriorating fundamentals, or when more attractive investment opportunities are available.

Principal Investment Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Portfolio.  Many factors affect the Portfolio’s net asset value and performance.


  • Credit Risk.  An issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, may default or otherwise be unable to honor a financial obligation. Securities rated below-investment grade are especially susceptible to this risk.


  • Foreign Risk.  Foreign issuers may be subject to political and economic instability, the imposition or tightening of exchange controls or other limitations on repatriation of capital.  In addition, there may be changes in foreign governmental attitudes towards private investment, possibly leading to nationalization, increased taxation or confiscation of investors’ assets.


  • High-Yield Bond Risk.  Lower-quality bonds, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default.  An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Portfolio’s ability to sell its bonds.  The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Portfolio’s share price.


  • Interest Rates and Bond Maturities Risk.  Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an investment.  Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise.  Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.


  • Liquidity and Valuation Risks.  Securities that were liquid when purchased by the Portfolio may become temporarily illiquid (i.e., not able to be sold readily) and difficult to value, especially in declining markets.


  • Management Risk.CEP’s investment techniques may be unsuccessful and cause the Portfolio to incur losses.


  • Market Risk.  The market value of the Portfolio’s investments will fluctuate as the stock and bond markets fluctuate. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy or may affect the market as a whole.


  • Mid-Size Company Risk.  The value of mid-sized company stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general.


  • Municipal Market Risk.  Special factors may negatively affect the value of municipal securities including political or legislative changes, uncertainties related to the tax status of the securities or the rights of investors in the securities.


  • Portfolio Turnover Risk.  Higher portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs.


  • Prepayment Risk.  Issuers of certain debt securities may prepay fixed rate obligations when interest rates fall, forcing the Portfolio to re-invest in obligations with lower interest rates than the original obligations.


  • U.S. Government Obligations Risk. The Portfolio may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities.  These securities may be backed by the credit of the government as a whole or only by the issuing agency.  No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law.
