Fund Objective
The Essential Portfolio Aggressive Fund’s objective is to primarily seek growth of capital.
The Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
- Have an aggressive risk tolerance
- Primarily seek growth from their investment
- Seek to maximize long-term returns with the ability to accept possible significant short or long-term losses
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of underlying funds that represent traditional asset
classes, such as stocks, bonds and money market securities, a broad range of alternative assets, such as real estate investment trusts and commodityrelated
securities, and alternative investment strategies, such as absolute return, leveraged, and sector-based strategies, in an attempt to improve risk adjusted
returns and lower portfolio volatility. The Fund will typically have an aggressive allocation to underlying funds that invest in stocks, and a lower
allocation to underlying funds that invest in bonds as compared to other Asset Allocation Funds.
