The investment seeks a positive rate of return over a calendar year regardless of market conditions. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests primarily in a combination of futures contracts on long-term U.S. Treasuries and the S&P 500 or NASDAQ (“Index Futures”), and investments, in money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and short-term bonds (“Fixed Income Investments”). It however, may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and open-end mutual funds that provide exposure to broad-based U.S. equity securities indices (collectively, with Index Futures, “Portfolio Instruments”) rather than in index futures.
