Fund Description

Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio uses option writing strategies in an effort to obtain option premiums and reduce risk. The Portfolio will implement buy-write (covered call) and/or cash-secured put option strategies on U.S. or foreign stock index exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), U.S. or foreign stock indices and/or individual U.S. or foreign stocks held by the Portfolio. Covered call and cash-secured put options are intended to reduce volatility, earn option premiums and provide more stable returns. Selling call options reduces the risk of owning stocks by the receipt of the option premiums and selling put options reduces the purchase price of the underlying stock, but both strategies limit the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the underlying security in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call or put option. Under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Portfolio’s net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) will be subject to secured option strategies, which are written covered call and/or secured put options. Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio will write covered call and/or secured put options on U.S. or foreign stock index ETFs, U.S. or foreign stock indices and/or individual U.S. or foreign stocks in at least three different countries, other than the United States, and will invest at least 40% of its net assets outside of the U.S. The Portfolio is called Global “Secured Options” because the call and put options it writes will be covered by owning the U.S. or foreign security, index or ETFs underlying the option, holding an offsetting option, segregating cash or other liquid assets at not less than the full value of the option or the exercise price, and/or using other permitted coverage methods. At any given time, the Portfolio’s assets may be subject to only calls or only puts, or a combination of both strategies. To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are only subject to puts, the assets will consist of cash or cash equivalents in order to secure the puts. In that event, there may be few if any stocks or other securities held by the Portfolio. To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are only subject to covered calls on a stock index, the Portfolio may hold stock index ETFs instead of individual U.S. or foreign stocks that replicate the movement of the applicable index, in addition to the other permitted coverage methods.
To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are not only subject to cash-secured puts or calls on stock index covered by stock index ETFs, the Portfolio intends to invest in a diversified portfolio of U.S. or foreign equity securities of companies based in at least three different countries, other than the United States, with generally similar risk and return characteristics as the MSCI All Country World Index (“MSCI ACWI Index”). The Portfolio may invest in companies with small, medium or large market capitalizations in developed, developing or emerging markets in advancement of its investment objective. The Portfolio intends to invest in foreign securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) which are securities issued by a U.S. bank that represent interests in foreign equity securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange. The Portfolio may also buy call and put options on U.S. or foreign stock index ETFs, U.S. or foreign stock indices or individual U.S. or foreign stocks.
The Advisor’s selection of securities to buy or sell is based on a combination of proprietary multifactor computer models and fundamental analysis. The computer models rank securities based on certain criteria, such as valuation ratios, and other models focus on risk analysis and overall portfolio characteristics. The Advisor buys securities that the models identify as undervalued and more likely to appreciate and sells securities that the Advisor identifies as overvalued and more likely to depreciate. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.
