The Multi-Style Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks of medium and large capitalization companies, most of which are U.S. based. While market capitalization changes over time and there is not one universally accepted definition of the lines between large, medium and small capitalization companies, the Fund generally defines large and medium capitalization stocks as stocks of the largest 1000 companies in the U.S. The Fund employs "multi-style, multi-manager" approach whereby portions of the Fund are allocated to different money managers who employ distinct investment styles. The Fund uses three principal investment styles intended to complement one another: a Growth Style, a Value Style and a Market-Oriented Style. The Fund intends to be fully invested at all times. You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, expenses and charges of the investment company before you invest. Your Northwestern Mutual Investment Services Registered Representative can provide you with a contract and fund prospectus that will contain the information noted above, and other important information that you should read carefully before you invest or send money. |
