Example

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover 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 29.08% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of large capitalization companies. The fund considers large capitalization companies to be those companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, that are within the range of market capitalizations of companies included in the S&P 500® Index, the fund's benchmark.

In choosing stocks, the fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC, uses fundamental analysis to create a broadly diversified portfolio comprised of growth stocks, value stocks and stocks that exhibit characteristics of both investment styles. The sub-adviser attempts to measure a security's intrinsic value by analyzing "real" data (company financials, economic outlook, etc.) and other factors (management, industry conditions, competition, etc.) and selects stocks for the fund based on value, growth and financial profile.

The fund typically sells a security when the sub-adviser believes that there has been a negative change in the fundamental factors surrounding the company, the company has become fully valued, the company has lost favor in the current market or economic environment, or a more attractive opportunity has been identified.
