Underweights to more volatile sectors like Information Technology and Communication Services detracted from benchmark relative performance, while overweights to the Utilities and Real Estate sectors had a positive excess contribution to return.</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-left:0px;font-size:9pt;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'times new roman';white-space:pre-wrap;">Additionally, over the Period, a concentrated subset of Information Technology stocks within the benchmark primarily drove returns. The Fund’s<span style="white-space:nowrap"> </span>systematic strategy avoided holding these companies due to their higher volatility and the inherent risks associated with them. This resulted in underweight allocations to some of the industries experiencing the most gains such as the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment.

Small and mid-sized stocks in the benchmark generally led larger cap stocks over the same Period, as these companies have exhibited characteristics more sensitive to an improving macro-economic environment. Underweights to more volatile sectors such as Information Technology and Health Care were large benchmark relative detractors, while overweights to Utilities and Real Estate were accretive.
