Utilizing optimization software and both internal and external research, the Advisor analyzes the economy and the capital markets to determine the optimal allocations to the various Underlying Funds. The Equity portion of the Funds portfolio is significantly weighted to large-cap domestic equity funds and international equity funds, but also includes weightings to mid-cap equities and small-cap equities. The Advisor allocates the Income portion of the Funds portfolio to the Underlying Funds based on the Advisors interest rate and fixed income forecasts and its analysis of credit quality, sector emphasis and the duration of the portfolio. The Advisor reviews the allocations to Underlying Funds within the stated targets on an ongoing basis and adjusts them based on the analysis of current research and macroeconomic factors. Note that variations in the Equity and Income asset allocation targets are permitted up to 10% in either direction. Although variations beyond the 10% range are generally not permitted, the Advisor may determine in light of market or economic conditions that the normal percentage limitations should be exceeded as a temporary defensive position to protect an Asset Allocation Fund or to help achieve its goal.

These include (but are not limited to) small-, mid- and large-capitalization stocks; domestic and foreign securities (including emerging market securities); and sector holdings, such as utilities and science and technology stocks. Each of the Underlying Funds has its own investment strategy which, for example, may focus on growth stocks or value stocks or may employ a strategy combining growth and income stocks and/or may invest in derivatives such as options on securities and futures contracts. Certain of the Underlying Funds focus their investment strategy on fixed-income securities, which may include investment grade and below investment grade debt securities with maturities that range from short to longer term. The fixed-income Underlying Funds collectively hold various types of debt instruments, such as corporate bonds and mortgage-backed, government-issued, domestic and international securities. For defensive purposes, in abnormal market conditions, or to meet redemption requests or make anticipated cash payments, the Fund may temporarily invest extensively in cash and cash equivalents.

Utilizing optimization software and both internal and external research, the Advisor analyzes the economy and the capital markets to determine the optimal allocations to the various Underlying Funds. The Equity portion of the Funds portfolio is significantly weighted to large-cap domestic equity funds and international equity funds, but also includes weightings to mid-cap equities and small-cap equities. The Advisor allocates the Income portion of the Funds portfolio to the Underlying Funds based on the Advisors interest rate and fixed income forecasts and its analysis of credit quality, sector emphasis and the duration of the portfolio. The Advisor reviews the allocations to Underlying Funds within the stated targets on an ongoing basis and adjusts them based on the analysis of current research and macroeconomic factors. Note that Variations in the Equity and Income asset allocation targets are permitted up to 10% in either direction. Although variations beyond the 10% range are generally not permitted, the Advisor may determine in light of market or economic conditions that the normal percentage limitations should be exceeded as a temporary defensive position to protect an Asset Allocation Fund or to help achieve its goal. The Underlying Funds as a group hold a wide range of equity type securities. These include (but are not limited to) small-, mid- and large-capitalization stocks; domestic and foreign securities (including emerging market securities); and sector holdings, such as utilities and science and technology stocks. Each of the Underlying Funds has its own investment strategy which, for example, may focus on growth stocks or value stocks or may employ a strategy combining growth and income stocks and/or may invest in derivatives such as options on securities and futures contracts. Certain of the Underlying Funds focus their investment strategy on fixed-income securities, which may include investment grade and below investment grade debt securities with maturities that range from short to longer term. The fixed-income Underlying Funds collectively hold various types of debt instruments, such as corporate bonds and mortgage-backed, government-issued, domestic and international securities. For defensive purposes in abnormal market conditions or to meet redemption requests or make anticipated cash payments, the Fund may temporarily invest extensively in cash and cash equivalents. In taking these measures, the Fund might not achieve its investment goal. EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 28, 2012, PLEASE ADD THE FOLLOWING RISK TO THE SECTION TITLED PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS IN THE HUNTINGTON GROWTH ALLOCATION FUNDS SUMMARY PROSPECTUS ON PAGES 2 AND 3 (PAGES 108 AND 109 OF THE ENTIRE HUNTINGTON RETAIL PROSPECTUS FILING): Exchange-Traded Funds Risk.
