The Portfolio will short sell these securities and also hold cash positions. The Portfolio defines a large capitalization company as one whose market capitalization falls within the range of the S&amp;#38;P 500 Index, which as of June 28, 2013 was between $1.5 billion and $415.6 billion. The market capitalization of companies in the index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The adviser utilizes a covered call (or buy / write) strategy as part of the investment strategy of the Portfolio. This strategy is used in an effort to generate income for the portfolio by collecting premiums from the sale of call options. The adviser attempts to match call options that have been sold with holdings in the securities or indices on which the options are based. In addition, the adviser uses a proprietary risk management strategy, the Milliman Managed Risk Strategy &lt;font style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, in an effort to manage risk within the Portfolio. By combining the covered call strategy with the Milliman Managed Risk Strategy, the adviser attempts to generate consistent income for the Portfolio and to reduce market risk. &lt;/p&gt;</NonNumbericText><FootnoteIndexer /><CurrencyCode /><CurrencySymbol /><IsIndependantCurrency>false</IsIndependantCurrency><ShowCurrencySymbol>false</ShowCurrencySymbol><DisplayDateInUSFormat>false</DisplayDateInUSFormat></Cell></Cells><ElementDataType>nonnum:textBlockItemType</ElementDataType><SimpleDataType>na</SimpleDataType><ElementDefenition>Principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is not intended to be a complete investment program. The principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Credit Risk:&lt;/i&gt; Issuers might not make payments on debt securities, resulting in losses. Credit quality of securities

may be lowered if an issuer&amp;#146;s financial condition changes, also resulting in losses.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Derivatives Risk.&lt;/i&gt; Even a small investment in derivatives (which include options, futures and other transactions)

may give rise to leverage risk (which can increase volatility and magnify the Portfolio&amp;#146;s potential for loss), and can

have a significant impact on the Portfolio's performance. Derivatives are also subject to credit risk (the counterparty may

default) and liquidity risk (the Portfolio may not be able to sell the security or otherwise exit the contract in a timely

manner).&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Futures Risk:&lt;/i&gt; Futures contract short positions may not provide an effective hedge because changes in futures contract

prices may not track those of the ETFs they are intended to hedge. Futures create leverage, which can magnify the Portfolio&amp;#146;s

potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Portfolio&amp;#146;s share price.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Limited History of Operations.&lt;/i&gt; The Portfolio is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for

investors to evaluate.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Management Risk.&lt;/i&gt; The adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of

particular security or derivative in which the Portfolio invests or sells short may prove to be incorrect and may not produce

the desired results.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Market Risk:&lt;/i&gt; Overall securities market risks may affect the value of securities held by the Portfolio.

Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may

adversely affect the securities and futures markets.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Option Risk:&lt;/i&gt; The Portfolio may lose the entire put or call option premium paid if the reference asset or index

does not decrease below or rise above the respective strike price before expiration. Options may not be an effective hedge

because they may have imperfect correlation to the value of the Portfolio's assets.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Short Position Risk:&lt;/i&gt; 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 an offsetting position

is purchased. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance

on the ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The Portfolio's losses are potentially

large in a short position transaction.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="margin-left: 20pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;#149; Turnover Risk.&lt;/i&gt; A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs&lt;/p&gt;</NonNumbericText><FootnoteIndexer /><CurrencyCode /><CurrencySymbol /><IsIndependantCurrency>false</IsIndependantCurrency><ShowCurrencySymbol>false</ShowCurrencySymbol><DisplayDateInUSFormat>false</DisplayDateInUSFormat></Cell></Cells><ElementDataType>nonnum:textBlockItemType</ElementDataType><SimpleDataType>na</SimpleDataType><ElementDefenition>Narrative Risk Disclosure.
