Principal investment strategy
The VA Equity Allocation Portfolio is a fund of funds, which means the Portfolio generally allocates its assets among other funds managed by the Advisor (the Underlying Funds), although it has the ability to invest directly in securities and derivatives. The Portfolio seeks to provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of global equity securities. The Portfolio pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the following Underlying Funds: VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio, VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, VA International Value Portfolio, VA International Small Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio, DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (each a series of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.) and U.S.
Large Company Portfolio (a series of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.). Generally, the VA Equity Allocation Portfolio invests its assets in the Underlying Funds to gain exposure to equity securities with an allocation of approximately 55% to 75% of the Portfolios assets in U.S. equity securities, 0-10% in U.S. real estate securities, 20-35% in international developed markets equity securities, and 0-15% in emerging markets equity securities. Periodically, the Advisor will review the allocations for the Portfolio in each Underlying Fund and may adjust allocations to the Underlying Funds or may add or remove Underlying Funds in the Portfolio without notice to shareholders. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the VA Equity Allocation Portfolio, through its investments in the Underlying Funds, will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities.
The Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds to manage its cash pending investment in other securities or to maintain liquidity for the payment of redemptions or other purposes. Investments in money market funds may involve a duplication of certain fees and expenses. The VA Equity Allocation Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by purchasing equity securities in the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuers domicile country. The Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices of its approved markets or other equity market securities or indices, including those of the United States, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio or Underlying Fund.
The Portfolio and Underlying Funds do not intend to establish short positions in individual securities or to use derivatives for purposes of speculation or leveraging investment returns. The VA Equity Allocation Portfolio and Underlying Funds may lend their portfolio securities to generate additional income.
