Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • The Fund's strategy for allocating assets among portfolio management teams may not work as intended. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance.
