Choosing a Fund
Use our Risk/Reward spectrum to navigate your way to the mutual fund that is right for you.

For those investors who are seeking a low cost, disciplined approach to investing in equities, this may be the fund for you. The Enhanced Large Cap Fund attempts to create a portfolio with similar risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics as the S&P 500 Index. In managing the Fund, your investment management team attempts to achieve the Fund's objective by overweighting those stocks that it believes will outperform the S&P 500 Index and underweighting those stocks that it believes will under-perform the S&P 500 Index.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here.

The Advisor has agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses; a portion of the compensation paid to each Trustee who is not an officer, director or employee of Northern Trust Corporation or its subsidiaries; expenses related to third-party consultants engaged by the Board of Trustees of the Trust; membership dues paid to the Investment Company Institute and Mutual Fund Directors Forum; extraordinary expenses; and interest, if any) to the extent the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement" exceed 0.60%. The contractual limitation may not be terminated before July 31, 2013 without the approval of the Board of Trustees. In the absence of fee waivers, yield, total return, growth since inception and dividends would have been reduced. Total return is based on net change in NAV assuming reinvestment of distributions.
