All but one of the underlying mutual funds are considered “index funds,” meaning that they are designed to track a benchmark index. The other underlying mutual fund is an actively-managed fund. The extent to which each Target Risk Investment Option seeks to allocate its assets (by percentage) to the underlying mutual funds is set forth in the table below. The table below also sets forth the extent to which the Moderate Portfolio and Conservative Portfolio seeks to allocate their assets (by percentage) to the Funding Agreement.

Given its allocations to the equity markets, the bond markets, and the Funding Agreement relative to the other Target Risk Investment Options, the Moderate Portfolio may have (i) less potential for returns and risk of loss than the Aggressive Growth Portfolio and (ii) greater potential for returns and risk of loss than the Conservative Portfolio.

Investment Strategies. E.5.1 The success of the investment strategies depends upon the ability to interpret correctly market data. Any factor which would make it more difficult to execute timely trades, such as a significant lessening of liquidity in a particular market would also be detrimental to profitability. As the strategies may be modified and altered from time to time, it is possible that the strategies used in the future may be different from those presently in use. No assurance can be given that the strategies used or to be used will be successful under all or any market conditions.
Investment Strategies. We use the following strategy(ies) in managing client accounts, provided that such strategy(ies) are appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations: We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the client's account for a year or longer. Typically we employ this strategy when: • We believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or • We want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for this class. A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, a security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell. When utilizing this strategy, we purchase securities with the idea of selling them within a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do this in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that we believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities we purchase. A short-term purchase strategy poses risks should the anticipated price swing not materialize; we are then left with the option of having a long-term investment in a security that was designed to be a short- term purchase, or potentially taking a loss. In addition, this strategy involves more frequent trading than does a longer-term strategy, and will result in increased brokerage and other transaction-related costs, as well as less favorable tax treatment of short-term capital gains.
