The Portfolio is allocated among four subadvisers: J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (J.P. Morgan), PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC (PGIM Quantitative Solutions), ClearBridge Investments, LLC (ClearBridge) and Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (Dimensional). Further, the Strategic Investment Research Group of the Manager determines the allocation among the subadvisers based on its analysis, taking into account market conditions, risks and other factors.
