This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Shares of the Fund.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9.50pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.57%;">EXAMPLE:</span>
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9.50pt;">The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9.50pt;">Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses without waivers remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</span>
The following Example is based on expenses without waivers. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9.50pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.00%;">Portfolio Turnover:</span>
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 117% of the average value of its portfolio.
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.45pt;font-weight:bold;padding-left:0.0%;text-transform:uppercase;">Principal investment strategies</span>
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying securities. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks from the universe of the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index, utilizing Intech Investment Management LLC’s (“Intech”) mathematical investment process, applying a managed volatility approach. The MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index is designed to reflect the performance of the high dividend yield securities contained within the broader MSCI World Indexsm (the Fund’s primary benchmark index). The Fund may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities. The Fund seeks to produce returns in excess of the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index (the Fund’s secondary benchmark index) over a full market cycle, but with lower absolute volatility. The Fund seeks to generate such excess returns with absolute volatility that can range from approximately 0% to 30% lower than the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index. In this context, absolute volatility refers to the variation in the returns of the Fund and the index as measured by the standard deviation of monthly returns. This range is expected to be closer to 0% in less volatile markets and will increase as market conditions become more volatile. The Fund transitioned to a managed volatility strategy in December 2014. Since January 2015, when seeking to generate returns, the Fund has reduced volatility on average by approximately 23.33% relative to its secondary benchmark index (based on the standard deviation of monthly returns). As noted, the volatility reduction is expected to vary over time based on market conditions and other factors.The Fund pursues its investment objective by applying a mathematical investment process to construct an investment portfolio from the universe of stocks within the secondary benchmark index. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund will have exposure to investments that are economically tied to a number of countries throughout the world. A security is deemed to be economically tied to a country or countries if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the company is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in, the country; (ii) a majority of the company’s revenues are derived from one or more countries; or (iii) a majority of the company’s assets are located in one or more countries. The goal of this process is to combine stocks that individually have higher relative volatility, lower absolute volatility, and lower correlations with each other in an effort to reduce the Fund’s absolute volatility, while still generating returns that exceed the secondary benchmark index over a full market cycle. Although the Fund is generally expected to underperform its secondary benchmark index in sharply rising markets, this strategy seeks to participate in normal rising markets and lessen losses in down markets. In applying this strategy, Intech establishes target proportions of its holdings from stocks within the secondary benchmark index using an optimization process designed to determine the most effective weightings of each stock in the Fund. Once Intech determines such proportions and the Fund’s investments are selected, the Fund is periodically rebalanced to the set target proportions and re-optimized. The rebalancing techniques used by Intech typically result in a higher relative portfolio turnover rate compared to a “buy and hold” fund strategy.The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.45pt;font-weight:bold;padding-left:0.0%;text-transform:uppercase;">Principal investment risks</span>
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money.The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.Market Risk.  The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or security, or multiple companies or securities, in the portfolio decreases. Further, regardless of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets.Investment Process Risk.   The proprietary mathematical investment process used by Intech may not achieve the desired results. In addition, the focus on managed volatility may keep the Fund from achieving excess returns over the secondary benchmark index. In this regard, Intech’s managed volatility strategy may underperform the Fund’s secondary benchmark index during certain periods of up markets, and in particular, most likely will underperform the secondary benchmark index in sharply rising markets, and may not achieve the desired level of protection in down markets. As Intech’s mathematical investment process has evolved, it has experienced periods of both underperformance and outperformance relative to the secondary benchmark index. Even when the proprietary mathematical investment process is working appropriately, Intech expects that there will be periods of underperformance relative to the benchmark index. On an occasional basis, Intech makes changes to its mathematical investment process that do not require shareholder notice. These changes may result in changes to the portfolio, might not provide the intended results, and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance.Foreign Exposure Risk.  The Fund normally has significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of its investments in foreign securities, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund’s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign debt securities, such investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Additionally, investments in securities of foreign governments involve the risk that a foreign government may not be willing or able to pay interest or repay principal when due.Dividend Risk.  Companies that issue dividend-yielding securities are not required to continue to pay dividends on such securities. Therefore, there is the possibility that such companies could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future.Industry and Sector Risk.  Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in specific industries or industry sectors, it may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business, or business within the same economic sector. Companies in the same industry or economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. As the Fund’s portfolio becomes more concentrated, the Fund is less able to spread risk and potentially reduce the risk of loss and volatility. In addition, the Fund may be overweight or underweight in certain industries or sectors relative to its benchmark index, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those sectors.Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk.  The Fund’s investments in securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies, which can include smaller, start-up companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies.Portfolio Turnover Risk.  Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may offset gains or increase losses in the Fund’s performance. In addition, higher portfolio turnover may result in the acceleration of capital gains and the recognition of greater levels of short-term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates when distributed to shareholders.Real Estate Securities Risk.   The Fund’s performance may be affected by the risks associated with investments in real estate-related companies. The value of real estate-related companies’ securities is sensitive to changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the company. Investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involve the same risks as other real estate investments. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund.Securities Lending Risk.  The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Fund to collateralize the loan. If the Fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the Fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Fund.An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
