The Fund’s investment objective is to attempt to replicate the total return of the U.S. stock market as measured by the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
At a Glance
The S&P 500 Index Fund is made up of large-sized companies, many of which are leaders in their respective industries. The stocks in the Fund represent roughly 78% of the U.S. equity markets on a market capitalization basis. The diverse portfolio invests in each major market sector, giving the investor diversification across 500 U.S. stocks. The stocks held by the Fund are different than those included in the S&P MidCap and S&P SmallCap Funds. Therefore, it represents a diversification opportunity for investors in our other index funds.

Total returns include changes in share price and the reinvestment of income dividends and all capital gains distributions. All performance figures reflect an expense reimbursement, where applicable. Without the expense reimbursement, the performance figures would be lower.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Performance figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
