FCF US SMID Cap Fund

AS OF 2023-06-30
INVESTMENT STRATEGY:

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation using a multimanager approach that provides exposure to a broad universe of small-company and mid-company stocks. The Fund's two investment advisors manage independent subportfolios. The multimanager structure diversifies risk and increases investment capacity, while providing individual managers with the opportunity to generate superior returns. SMID Cap funds aim to target companies with higher growth potential than large cap stocks. Stocks in the SMID asset class tend to have higher returns over the long-run at the expense of increased volatility.

Portfolio Snapshotb2

Principal Risks

Principal Risks include: Equity Securities, Portfolio Risk, Private Fund and Small Cap. See disclosure for details.

Equity Securities The value of equity securities, which include common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks, will fluctuate based on changes in their issuers' financial conditions, as well as overall market and economic conditions, and can decline in the event of deteriorating issuer, market, or economic conditions.

Portfolio Risk This not a mutual fund, prospectuses are not required, and prices are not available in local publications. The portfolio allocates its investments among multiple asset classes, which can include U.S. and foreign equity and fixed income securities. Foreign investing involves risks not associated with U.S. investments, including currency fluctuations and political and economic changes. These risks are likely to be greater for emerging markets than in developed markets. Portfolios that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. The portfolio may also allocate its investments in growth and value stocks, real estate investment trusts, and corporate and U.S. government bonds. Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protection against a loss. Please note that asset allocation may not be appropriate for all participants particularly those interested in directing investment options on their own. Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. An investor should examine the asset allocation of the portfolio to ensure it is consistent with their own risk tolerance.

Private Fund The fund is not a mutual fund and is privately offered. Prospectuses are not required and prices are not available in local publications.

Small Cap Concentrating assets in small-capitalization stocks may subject the portfolio to the risk that those stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Smaller, less-seasoned companies may be subject to increased liquidity risk compared with mid- and large-cap companies and may experience greater price volatility than do those securities because of limited product lines, management experience, market share, or financial resources, among other factors.
