PORTFOLIO MANAGER
OBJECTIVE | The Index Fund seeks to replicate the total rate of return of the S&P 500 Index, before fees and expenses.
PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES | We
invest in all of the common stocks comprising the S&P
500 Index and attempt to achieve at least a 95% correlation between the
performance of the S&P 500 Index and our investment results, before fees and
expenses. This correlation is sought regardless of market conditions. We may
invest in stock index futures and options on stock indexes as a substitute for
a comparable position in the underlying securities.
A precise duplication of the performance of the S&P 500 Index
would mean that the NAV of Fund shares, including dividends and capital gains
would increase or decrease in exact proportion to changes in the S&P 500 Index.
Such a 100% correlation is not feasible. Our ability to track the performance
of the S&P 500 Index may be affected by, among other things, transaction costs
and shareholder purchases and redemptions. We continuously monitor the performance
and composition of the S&P 500 Index and adjust the Fund's portfolio as necessary
to reflect any changes to the S&P 500 Index and to maintain a 95% or better
performance correlation before fees and expenses.
RISKS |
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies
and general market and economic conditions. The use of derivatives may reduce
returns and/or increase volatility.
Consult the Fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
