Principal Investment Strategy

The trust includes domestic stocks of companies that the sponsor believes are core holdings of a well-diversified domestic large capitalization portfolio. The trust includes stocks from all sectors of the U.S. economy. The sponsor selects stocks that it believes have the potential to achieve the trust’s investment objective.

See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for more information.

Selection Criteria

The sponsor selects domestic companies that it believes are core holdings of a well-diversified domestic large-cap portfolio, which may include real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To select the portfolio the sponsor follows a very disciplined process which includes both quantitative screening and qualitative analysis.

The sponsor begins with the companies that currently comprise the Russell 3000® Index and separates these companies into three capitalization groups (large, mid and small-cap). The stocks comprising the first (or largest) 72.5% of capitalization are classified as large-cap, the stocks comprising the next 15% of capitalization are classified as mid-cap and the remaining 12.5% are classified as small-cap. The sponsor then takes the large-cap group and separates these companies into twenty groups based on style and Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) sector. Please note that due to the fluctuating nature of security prices, a company’s classification as large-cap, mid-cap or small-cap may change after its selection for the portfolio.

The sponsor then reduces the universe to approximately 250 companies by performing quantitative screening, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:

  • Valuation. The sponsor favors companies whose valuations appear to be attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow.
  • Growth. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of (and prospects for) above average growth of dividends, sales and earnings.
  • Profitability. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.

The sponsor then reduces the 250 companies to approximately 50 by performing qualitative analysis, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:

  • Balance Sheet. The sponsor favors companies that possess overall financial strength and exhibit balance sheet improvements relative to their peers and the marketplace;
  • Industry Leadership. The sponsor favors companies that possess a strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers;
  • Valuation. The sponsor favors companies whose valuations appear to be attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow;
  • Growth. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) above average growth of revenues, earnings and dividends (if applicable);
  • Profitability. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.

For the final step, the sponsor weights the selected stocks such that the portfolio has a style and sector representation that closely resembles that of the Russell 1000® Index.

Russell 3000® Index

Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

Russell 1000® Index

Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index and includes approximately 1000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000® represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market.

It is not possible to invest directly in the Russell 1000® Index or the Russell 3000® Index. The Trust will not try to replicate the performance of the Russell 1000® Index or the Russell 3000® Index and will not necessarily invest any substantial portion of its assets in securities in the Indices. There is no guarantee that the perceived intrinsic value of a security will be realized.

Risks and Other Considerations

As with all investments, you can lose money by investing in the trust. The trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:

  • Stock prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer.
  • The sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.
  • Share prices or dividend rates on the securities may decline during the life of the trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
  • Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.

Please see the Trust prospectus for more complete risk information.
