Strategy
Principal Investment Strategies: The Portfolio employs a fund-of-funds structure that invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The ETFs included in the Portfolio invest primarily in securities representing one of the following asset classes: ¿ Common and Preferred Stocks ¿ Real Estate-Related Securities (“REITs”) ¿ Natural Resource-Related Securities. The Portfolio’s adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objectives by allocating assets and selecting individual ETFs using the adviser’s TOPS® (The Optimized Portfolio System) methodology. The TOPS® methodology utilizes multiple asset classes in an effort to enhance performance and/or reduce risk (as measured by return volatility). The adviser selects some equity ETFs that are composed of growth stocks. The adviser expects growth stocks, those with higher than average earnings growth and, typically, higher than average price-to-earnings ratios, to have returns that are higher than the equity market as a whole. The adviser selects individual ETFs that it believes are reasonably representative of an asset class and have relatively low expenses and/or relatively high returns when compared to a peer group of ETFs. The adviser may sell individual ETFs to rebalance asset allocation or to purchase a substitute ETF with a higher expected return or lower risk profile or for any other reason.
