Summary Prospectus

May 1, 2012

 

Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio’s Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its risks. You can find the Portfolio’s Prospectus and other information about the Portfolio, including the Statement of Additional Information and most recent reports to shareholders, online at www.maximfunds.com/prospectus.html. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-866-831-7129 or by sending an email request to email@maximfunds.com. The current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated May 1, 2012, are incorporated by reference as a matter of law into this Summary Prospectus, which means they are legally part of this Summary Prospectus.

Portfolio shares are available only through investments in certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable contracts”), individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), qualified retirement plans (“retirement plans”) and college savings programs (collectively, “Permitted Accounts”). This Summary Prospectus is not intended for use by other investors. This Summary Prospectus should be read together with the prospectus or disclosure document for the Permitted Account.

Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through investments in Underlying Portfolios (defined below) that emphasize equity investments and, to a lesser degree, in Underlying Portfolios that emphasize fixed income investments.

Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table does not reflect the fees and expenses of any Permitted Account. If reflected, the expenses shown would be higher.

Since the Portfolio pursues its investment objective by investing in other mutual funds, you will bear your proportionate share of the expenses of the Portfolio and indirectly, your proportionate share of the expenses (including operating costs and management fees) of the other funds in which it invests.

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

 

      Initial Class    Class L

Management Fees

   0.25%    0.25%

Distribution (12b-1) Fees

   0.00%    0.25%

Other Expenses

   0.00%    0.00%

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses

   0.94%    0.94%

Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses1

   1.19%    1.44%

1 The Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets provided in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights, which reflects the operating expenses of the Portfolio and does not include Acquired Fund (Underlying Portfolio) Fees and Expenses.

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 does not reflect the fees and expenses of any Permitted Account. If reflected, the expenses in the Example would be higher.

 


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. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that all dividends and capital gains are reinvested, and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses are the amount shown in the fee table and remain the same for the years shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

     1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
Initial Class  

$121

  $378   $654   $1,443
Class L   $147   $456   $787   $1,724

Portfolio Turnover

The Portfolio 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. 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 turnover rate was 34.84% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The following is a summary of the principal investment strategies of the Portfolio:

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a mix of mutual funds managed by Maxim Capital Management, LLC (“MCM”) or its affiliates, and in a fixed interest contract issued and guaranteed by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “GWL&A Contract”). The mutual funds and the GWL&A Contract are referred to as the “Underlying Portfolios.” The Portfolio has a primary emphasis on growth of capital and a secondary emphasis on income. MCM uses asset allocation strategies to allocate assets among different broad asset classes and the Underlying Portfolios. The following table shows the Portfolio’s asset allocation ranges:

 

EQUITY

  

International

   5-35%
  

Small Cap

   0-25%
  

Mid Cap

   5-35%
  

Large Cap

   20-50%

FIXED INCOME

  

Bond

   5-25%
  

Short-Term Bond

   0-10%

Each Underlying Portfolio has its own investment objectives and strategies and may hold a wide range of securities and other instruments in its portfolio, including, without limitation, U.S. and foreign equity securities (including those from emerging markets), U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (including those rated below investment grade), derivatives, and short-term investments. The following table shows the Portfolio’s target allocation for the various asset classes listed above and the Underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio expects to invest as of the date of this Prospectus:

 

Large Cap

  30.00%

The Portfolio will automatically rebalance its holdings of the Underlying Portfolios on a monthly basis to maintain the appropriate asset allocations. MCM reviews asset class allocations, Underlying Portfolio allocations, and the Underlying Portfolios themselves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as deemed necessary. MCM may add or delete asset classes, add or delete Underlying Portfolios, or change the asset allocations at any time and without shareholder notice or approval.

Principal Investment Risks

The following is a summary of the principal investment risks of investing in the Portfolio:

Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk

 

Since the Portfolio invests directly in the Underlying Portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible Underlying Portfolios apply to the Portfolio. To the extent the Portfolio invests more of its assets in one Underlying Portfolio than another, the Portfolio will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Portfolio.

 

 

Since the Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios, you will bear your proportionate share of expenses of the Portfolio and indirectly of the Underlying Portfolios, resulting in an additional layer of expenses.

 

 

The Portfolio is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which means a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in securities of a limited number of Underlying Portfolios. As a result, the Portfolio’s securities may be more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory event than that experienced by a similarly structured diversified portfolio.

The following are risks associated with Underlying Portfolio investments that may indirectly result in a loss of your investment in a Portfolio. There can be no assurance that an Underlying Portfolio will achieve its investment objective.

Equity Securities Risk - The value of the stocks and other securities owned by the Underlying Portfolios will fluctuate depending on the performance of the companies that issued them, general market and economic conditions, and investor confidence.

Small, Medium and Large Size Company Securities Risk - The stocks of small and medium size companies often involve more risk and volatility than those of larger companies. Among other things, small and medium size companies are often dependent on a small number of products and have limited financial resources, and there is generally less publicly available information about them. Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions, and could underperform returns of smaller companies.

Investment Style Risk - Because the Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios with both growth and value characteristics, its share price may be negatively affected if either investing approach falls out of favor.

Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, currency valuation or economic developments. In addition, emerging markets may be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and the securities of emerging markets issuers often are subject to rapid and large changes in price.

 

3


Geographic Concentration Risk - Geographic concentration risk is the risk that economic, political and social conditions in the countries or regions in which an Underlying Portfolio invests will have a significant impact on the performance of the Underlying Portfolio.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk - Adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and other currencies may cause an Underlying Portfolio to lose money on investments denominated in foreign currencies.

Fixed Income Securities Risk - Investments in fixed income securities will be subject to interest rate risk (the chance that bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates), income risk (the chance that the Underlying Portfolio’s income will decline because of falling interest rates), credit risk (the chance that a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that market perception of the issuer will cause the price of a bond to decline), and call/prepayment risk (the chance that bond issuers will redeem bonds prior to their maturity dates). Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) are highly speculative securities that are usually issued by smaller, less creditworthy, and/or highly leveraged (indebted) companies and their issuers are less likely to make payments of interest and repay principal.

Liquidity Risk - Underlying Portfolios may invest in securities that cannot be sold, or cannot be sold quickly, at an acceptable price. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that an Underlying Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the normal time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, an Underlying Portfolio may be required to sell liquid securities at an unfavorable time.

Derivatives Risk - Using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when stock prices, currency rates or interest rates are changing. An Underlying Portfolio may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Underlying Portfolio’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make a portfolio less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

Management Risk - A strategy used by the portfolio manager may fail to produce the intended results.

An investment in the Portfolio or Underlying Portfolios is not a deposit with a bank, is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency, and is subject to the possible loss of your original investment.

Performance

The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risk of investment in the Portfolio by showing changes in the performance of the Portfolio’s Initial Class for the past ten calendar years and comparing its average annual total return to the performance of broad-based securities market indices and a Composite Index which has investment characteristics similar to those of the Portfolio. The Composite Index is derived by applying the Portfolio’s target asset allocation among the asset classes over time to the results of the following indexes: the Wilshire 5000 Index (U.S. equities); the MSCI EAFE® Index (international equities); the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (bonds); and the Barclays 1-3 Yr Credit Bond Index (short-term bonds). No Class L share performance data is provided because Class L shares have not commenced operations. Class L share performance will appear in a future version of this Prospectus after Class L shares have annual returns for one complete calendar year. Class L shares performance would be lower than Initial Class performance because of the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class L shares. The returns shown below are historical and are not an indication of future performance. Total return figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions and include the effect of the Portfolio’s recurring expenses, but do not include fees and expenses of any Permitted Account. If those fees and expenses were reflected, the performance shown would have been lower.

Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares

Permitted Accounts place orders to purchase and redeems shares of the Portfolio based on instructions received from owners of variable contracts or IRAs, or from participants of retirement plans or college savings programs. Please contact your registered representative, IRA custodian or trustee, retirement plan sponsor or administrator, or college savings program for information concerning the procedures for purchasing and redeeming shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio may stop offering shares completely or may offers shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

The Portfolio does not have any initial or subsequent investment minimums. However, Permitted Accounts may impose investment minimums.

Tax Information

The Portfolio intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the Portfolio qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes its income as required by the Code, the Portfolio will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that its net investment income and realized net capital gains are distributed to shareholders.

 

5


Currently, Permitted Accounts generally are not subject to federal income tax on any Portfolio distributions. Owners of variable contracts, retirement plan participants, and IRA owners are also generally not subject to federal income tax on Portfolio distributions until such amounts are withdrawn from the variable contract, retirement plan, or IRA. Distributions from a college savings program generally are not taxed provided that they are used to pay for qualified higher education expenses.

Payments to Insurers, Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public, but instead may be offered as an underlying investment for Permitted Accounts. The Portfolio and its related companies may make payments to insurance companies, broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries for the sale of Portfolio shares and/or other services. These payments may be a factor that an insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary considers in including the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in a Permitted Account. These payments also may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Portfolio over another investment. Ask your salesperson, visit your financial intermediary’s Web site, or consult the variable contract prospectus for more information.
