Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management's Discussion of Fund Performance The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to the S&P 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and the related index. The Fund normally invests its assets primarily in the common stocks included in the S&P 500. Under normal circumstances, Fund management will also use enhanced management techniques in an attempt to improve the performance of the portfolio relative to the S&P 500 to compensate for fund expenses and tracking error (difference in the Fund’s performance relative to the performance of the S&P 500). During the reporting period, the Fund’s investment strategy focused on the use of the enhanced management techniques, which was the most significant factor affecting the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500, as noted below. The Fund’s enhanced management techniques primarily consisted of 1) overweighting and underweighting stocks relative to the S&P 500 based upon Fund management’s quantitative analysis of the securities and 2) investing in stocks not represented in the S&P 500 issued in initial public offerings (IPOs). Top Contributors to Performance By sector, stock selection in the Financials, Consumer Staples, Materials, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed positively to Fund relative performance. Top individual Fund holdings that contributed positively to relative performance included NVIDIA Corporation, Super Micro Computer, Inc., Synchrony Financial and Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Investment in stocks issued in IPOs contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Top Detractors from Performance By sector, stock selection in the Information Technology, Health Care and Real Estate sectors detracted from Fund relative performance. Top individual Fund holdings that detracted from Fund relative performance included Corning Inc., Moody’s Corporation, Western Digital Corporation and Moderna, Inc. The Fund invested in S&P 500 futures to provide equity exposure for the Fund’s cash balances, reducing tracking error to the S&P 500. During the reporting period, the trading of futures contracts detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. |
