Investment Objective

A multi-manager Fund seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in large market capitalization U.S. stocks.

 
Investment Style

The Fund's sub-advisors pursue a value style of investing. They select stocks that, in their opinion, have above-average earnings growth potential and are also selling at a discount to the market. To determine a company's growth prospects, each of the Fund's sub-advisors uses proprietary methods based upon a combination of internal and external research and analysis of changing economic trends. The value determination is based on each company's financial profile, including price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book value ratio, assets carried below market value, financial strength, dividend yield, and growth expectations.

The Fund's assets are invested primarily in equity securities of large market capitalization U.S. companies. These companies generally have market capitalizations similar to the market capitalization of the companies in the Russell1000® Index. These may consist of common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts, and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges.

Performance shown prior to the 5/31/05 inception of the Service Class is that of the PlanAhead Class. The returns have not been adjusted for any difference between the fees and expenses of the Service Class and the historical fees and expenses of the PlanAhead Class. Because the PlanAhead Class had lower expenses, its performance was better than the Service Class would have realized during the same period. A portion of the fees charged to the Service Class of the Fund was waived in 2005. Performance prior to waiving fees was lower than the actual returns shown for 2005.
