The subadviser’s selection process is designed to select stocks for the Portfolio that have favorable exposure to certain factors, including but not limited to – quality, value, momentum and alternative. Factors are common characteristics that relate to a group of issuers or securities that are important in explaining the returns and risks of those issuers’ securities. The “quality” factor incorporates measurements such as return on equity, earnings variability, cash return on assets and leverage. The “value” factor incorporates measurements such as price to earnings, price to forward earnings, price to book value and dividend yield. The “momentum” factor incorporates measurements such as 6‑month risk adjusted price momentum and 12‑month risk adjusted price momentum. The “alternative” factor incorporates measurements such as short interest and option implied volatility from the equity options market.
