An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund
should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your
portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may
adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a
company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements
may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the
Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or
political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or
conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries
or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation
(or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates,
global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers,
supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs
and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters
or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or
potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Strategy Risk. The adviser may not be successful in managing the Fund with a lower level of volatility than the broad U.S. large cap market. Depending on market conditions
during a particular time in a market cycle, particularly during higher market volatility, the
Fund’s volatility at that time may not be lower than that of the Index because the Fund may not be able to adjust its call options strategy as quickly as the market does. In addition, because the Fund seeks lower relative volatility
(and may, therefore, be over or underweight in certain sectors or securities included in the
Index), the Fund may underperform the Index, particularly in rising markets. In addition, the Fund does not guarantee that distributions will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable
level.
Equity-Linked Notes Risk. When the Fund invests in ELNs, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the instrument because of the limits relating to the call options written
within the particular
ELN. Investing in ELNs may be more costly to the Fund than if the Fund had invested in the underlying
instruments directly. Investments in ELNs often have risks similar to the underlying instruments,
which include market risk. In addition, since ELNs are in note form, ELNs are subject to certain debt securities risks, such as credit or counterparty risk. Should the prices of the underlying instruments move in an
unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of an investment in an ELN,
and may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund’s entire principal investment. Investments in ELNs are also subject to liquidity risk, which may make ELNs difficult to sell and value. A lack of
liquidity may also cause the value of the ELN to decline. In addition, ELNs may exhibit price
behavior that does not correlate with the underlying securities. The Fund’s ELN investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the
Fund’s ELN investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it
is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.
See “Covered Call Strategy Risk” below for more information
about risks of the options held within the ELNs.
Covered Call Strategy Risk. When the Fund sells call options within an ELN, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of
the underlying instrument to the exercise price (plus the premium received). The maximum
potential gain on the underlying Index or ETF (each, an underlying instrument) will be equal to the difference between the exercise price and the purchase price of the underlying instrument at the time the option is
written, plus the premium received. In a rising market, the option may require an underlying
instrument to be sold at an exercise price that is lower than would be received if the instrument was sold at the market price. If a call expires, the Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received, but because
there may have been a decline (unrealized loss) in the market value of the underlying instrument
during the option period, the loss realized may exceed such gain. If the underlying instrument
declines by more than the option premium the Fund receives, there will be a loss on the overall
position.
Large Cap Company Risk. Because the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds
during periods when the Fund’s large cap securities are out of favor.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of
larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently
and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies,
especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times the Fund may
increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices
of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or
supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries
