Periodically these sectors may not be represented in the fund. Sectors are subject to change.

All share classes have the same portfolio but different expenses.

 

Fundamental IndexPLUS Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the FTSE RAFI 1000 Index (the Index) by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in derivatives based on Enhanced RAFI 1000, an enhanced, performance recalibrated version of the Index, backed by a portfolio of short term Fixed Income Instruments. (Prior to 10/15/06, the Fund sought to achieve this investment objective by investing primarily in FTSE RAFI 1000 Index derivatives, backed by a portfolio of short term Fixed Income Instruments.) The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps, including derivatives based on the Index. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.

 

Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities, which generally involve greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure to 20% of its total assets. Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets.

 

The FTSE RAFI 1000 Index is composed of the 1,000 largest publicly-traded U.S. companies, selected from the constituents of the FTSE US All Cap Index. The Index is weighted by a combination of fundamental factors, including sales, cash flow, book values and, if applicable, dividends (sales, cash flow and dividends are averaged over the prior five years). The Enhanced RAFI 1000 incorporates additional factors, such as quality of corporate earnings and risk of financial distress, and recalibrates existing factors utilized in the Index that affect a company? fundamental drivers of value. Enhanced RAFI 1000 may be rebalanced more frequently than the Index.

 

Risk Section Source: Lipper, Inc. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the S&P 500 for equity portfolios and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index for fixed-income portfolios. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.

 

The credit quality of the securities in the portfolio is generally calculated by Moody's or S&P; if unrated, the investment manager may determine a comparable rating, which is included in the portfolio breakdown. The credit quality of the investment in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the fund.
