Investment Objective

A multi-manager Fund seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in large market capitalization U.S. stocks.

 
Investment Style

The Fund's sub-advisors pursue a value style of investing. They select stocks that, in their opinion, have above-average earnings growth potential and are also selling at a discount to the market. To determine a company's growth prospects, each of the Fund's sub-advisors uses proprietary methods based upon a combination of internal and external research and analysis of changing economic trends. The value determination is based on each company's financial profile, including price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book value ratio, assets carried below market value, financial strength, dividend yield, and growth expectations.

The Fund’s assets are invested primarily in stocks of U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000® Index at the time of investment. These may consist of common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts, and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges.

Performance shown prior to the 5/31/05 inception of the Advisor Class is that of the Investor Class. The returns have not been adjusted for any difference between the fees and expenses of the Advisor Class and the historical fees and expenses of the Investor Class. Because the Investor Class had lower expenses, its performance was better than the Advisor Class would have realized during the same period.

Because the Advisor and Investor Classes had lower expenses, their performance was better than the Retirement Class would have realized during the same periods.

The returns have not been adjusted for any difference between the fees and expenses of the Y Class and the historical fees and expenses of the Institutional Class.
