Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index begins with the universe of stocks that Value Line ranks. All companies with an equity market capitalization of less than $1 billion, registered investment companies, limited partnerships and foreign securities not listed in the U.S. are eliminated from this universe. From this investable universe, the Underlying Index establishes: (1) a dividend target, which is the trailing 12-month dividend yield of stocks in the 25th percentile of yield in this universe; and (2) a beta target of 0.8 to 1 versus the S&P 500 Index based on forecasting models. Beta is a measure of the expected return of the Underlying Index relative to market movements. Each company in the investable universe is assigned a score based on its Safety Rank and Timeliness Rank with companies with Rank 1 receiving a higher score than companies with Rank 2. The Underlying Index then optimizes the weighting of companies using the score assigned to them to maximize the overall score for the Underlying Index taking into account the dividend target and the beta target. At each rebalancing, the Underlying Index seeks a yield that will be no less than the dividend target and a beta within 0.03 of the beta target. The weighting of a company can be zero and no individual company will be weighted more than 1.5% greater than its weighting in the broad-based large cap equity index. The Underlying Index is rebalanced during the first full week of each calendar month.
