Active asset allocation
The Strategic Fund Portfolio employs a disciplined, active asset allocation approach – allocating assets among different asset classes and investment styles and making tactical shifts
in allocations to capitalize on performance expectations. Each model portfolio is well diversified to help reduce the overall portfolio risk and potentially improve returns for the amount of
risk taken.
Exchange traded funds
The investments within each of the model portfolios are primarily exchange traded funds (ETFs), an efficient and effective investment designed to closely track the composition and
performance of the world’s leading indexes. Similar to open-end mutual funds, exchange-traded funds are baskets of stocks or bonds that provide diversification by letting you invest in
a group of securities at one time. However, like individual stocks, exchange traded funds are bought and sold through the exchanges, whenever the market is open. Simply put, they
trade like stocks and act like index funds.
All-inclusive fee
Designed for investors who understand the benefits of a well balanced portfolio, the Strategic Fund Portfolio provides diversification and asset allocation for one all-inclusive
fee.
Other investment considerations
|
• |
Since the returns of the investments in the Strategic Fund Portfolio program are intended to track the returns of market indexes, the values of the portfolios will fluctuate and are
subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You should consider the investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund or exchange traded fund carefully before investing. The funds’ prospectuses contain this and other information. |
|
• |
Mutual funds and ETFs are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders by year-end. These gains may be generated due to index rebalancing or to meet diversification
requirements. Changes to the Strategic Fund Portfolio models, too, will generate tax consequences. Certain traditional mutual funds can be tax efficient as well. |
|
• |
It is important to remember that although ETFs may be bought and sold on the exchange through any brokerage account, they aren’t redeemable from the fund. ETFs are used by
both individual investors and institutional investors in the secondary markets on the stock exchanges. |
