Investment Objectives

The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diverse mix of mutual funds (that may include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)) that are global fixed-income funds and global equity funds.

Investment Strategy

The target weighting for each asset class in which the Portfolio invests under normal market conditions is the following: 5%-25% of the net assets in global fixed-income securities, 75%-95% of the net assets in global equity securities. The Portfolio Manager may, in its sole discretion, review and adjust the target weighting of each asset class depending on economic and market conditions.
