The investment strategies, practices and risk analyses used by the Subadvisor may not produce the desired 
results or expected returns. The quantitative screening performed by the Subadvisor, and the securities 
selected based on the screening, may not perform as expected. The quantitative screening may adversely 
affect the Fund&#x2019;s performance. There may also be technical issues with the construction and implementation 
of quantitative models (for example, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies). 
In addition, the Fund's performance will reflect, in part, the Subadvisor's ability to make active qualitative 
decisions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; text-indent:-18.0pt; font-weight:normal; margin-left:18.0pt; text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span style="word-spacing:10.0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"&gt;c.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="word-spacing:10.0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"&gt;The following risk is added:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:36.0pt; font-style:normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;"&gt;Derivatives 
Risk:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"&gt; Derivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value 
of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies 
may be riskier than investing directly in the underlying instrument and often involve leverage, which 
may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Fund to lose more money than it originally invested and 
would have lost had it invested directly in the underlying instrument. For example, if the Fund is the 
seller of credit protection in a credit default swap, the Fund effectively adds leverage to its portfolio 
and is subject to the credit exposure on the full notional value of the swap. Derivatives may be difficult 
to sell, unwind and/or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk 
that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will 
be unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund. Futures and other derivatives 
may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the contract, and may not correlate 
perfectly to the underlying instrument. Futures and other derivatives also may involve a small initial 
investment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:36.0pt; text-decoration:none;"&gt;relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses 
greater than if they had not been used. Due to fluctuations in the price of the underlying instrument, 
the Fund may not be able to profitably exercise an option and may lose its entire investment in an option. 
To the extent that the Fund writes or sells an option, if the decline in the value of the underlying 
instrument is significantly below the exercise price in the case of a written put option or increase 
above the exercise price in the case of a written call option, the Fund could experience a substantial 
loss. Forward commitments entail the risk that the instrument may be worth less when it is issued or 
received than the price the Fund agreed to pay when it made the commitment. The use of foreign currency 
forwards may result in currency exchange losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or an 
imperfect correlation between portfolio holdings denominated in a particular currency and the forward 
contracts entered into by the Fund. Swaps may be subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, 
liquidity and leveraging risks. Swap transactions tend to shift a Fund&#x2019;s investment exposure from one 
type of investment to another and may entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligations 
to the Fund. Additionally, applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, 
including minimums on uncleared swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher 
margin amounts for uncleared swaps. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing 
and exchange trading. Central clearing, which interposes a central clearinghouse to each participant&#x2019;s 
swap, and exchange trading are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity but 
neither makes swap transactions risk-free. Derivatives may also increase the expenses of the Fund. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; text-align:left; text-indent:-36.0pt; font-weight:normal; margin-left:36.0pt; font-style:normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="word-spacing:19.0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"&gt;In addition, the selection

to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or equity-related securities of foreign companies, 
including securities of emerging market country issuers. An issuer of a security is considered to be 
a U.S. or foreign issuer based on the issuer&#x2019;s &#x201c;country of risk&#x201d; (or similar designation) as determined 
by a third-party such as Bloomberg. The Fund&#x2019;s Subadvisor defines emerging market countries as those 
countries that are included in the MSCI Emerging + Frontier Markets Index.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:18.0pt; text-decoration:none;"&gt;The 
Fund may also make use of derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging or exposure, such 
as futures, options, swaps, and forwards. To the extent that the Fund utilizes derivatives that provide 
investment exposure to the investments listed above or to one or more market risk factors associated 
with such investments, the notional value of such derivatives will be counted towards the Fund&#x2019;s 80% 
investment policy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:18.0pt; font-style:normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;"&gt;Investment Process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"&gt; The Subadvisor&#x2019;s quantitative equity 
investment team evaluates every stock through a proprietary screening process using fundamental and financial 
market data to derive a range of quantitative factor signals, which may include, among others, Value, 
Quality, Growth, Sentiment and Volatility. In practice, that means the stock selection framework draws 
on metrics such as forward earnings yield, return on invested capital, expected earnings per share growth, 
earnings revisions and momentum, and stock-specific volatility. These signals are then translated into 
a single score through a proprietary framework that incorporates systematic factor risk, expected return, 
and correlations using Candriam's proprietary factor risk model, combining Candriam&#x2019;s model insights 
with market information to build a balanced and consistent assessment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:18.0pt; text-decoration:none;"&gt;The

a diversified portfolio, while maintaining a balanced and benchmark-aware exposure to countries and sectors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; font-weight:normal; margin-left:18.0pt; text-decoration:none;"&gt;The Subadvisor may sell or reduce a position in a security when it believes its 
investment objectives have been met or when the security is deemed less attractive relative to another 
security on a return/risk basis. The Subadvisor may also sell or reduce a position in a security if it 
sees the investment thesis failing to materialize.&lt;/p&gt;</oef:StrategyNarrativeTextBlock>
