DELISTED - The Fund invests in securities in order to meet its investment objective of replicating the Underlying Index as closely as possible, before fees and expenses. The Underlying Index is an unmanaged equal-weighted version of the Russell 1000® Index, which measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 1000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities within the Russell 3000® Index based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000® Index represents approximately 90% of the U.S. market with capitalizations ranging from $442 million to $500.7 billion as of December 31, 2013. In general, the equal weighting provided by the Underlying Index provides equal representation for all securities at the Underlying Index’s rebalance interval(s), thereby providing broader exposure to the majority of securities in the Underlying Index than typically may be found in the Underlying Index’s market capitalization weighted counterpart.The Fund uses a passive management strategy, known as “replication,” to track the performance of the Underlying Index. “Replication” refers to investing in substantially all of the securities in the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. The Fund may hold up to 20% of its assets in securities not included in the Underlying Index. The Advisor expects that, over time, if the Fund has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index will be 95% or better. A figure of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. The Advisor monitors the Fund’s tracking of the Underlying Index and seeks to maintain an appropriate correlation. The Advisor rebalances the Fund’s portfolio at the same rebalance interval(s) utilized by the Underlying Index.As long as the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities included in the Underlying Index, the Fund may also invest its other assets in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options, and swaps related to the Underlying Index, as well as cash, cash equivalents, such as repurchase agreements, and shares of investment funds, including money market funds. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may also hold repurchase agreements, U.S. Government securities or cash equivalents to collateralize its derivative positions. In an effort to make sure the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. To the extent the Underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund.
