Fund Summary
, the
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
will
be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
The Fund invests in stocks that provide long-term growth
potential. As a secondary goal, the Fund invests in stocks that will provide current income. The sub-adviser uses a bottom-up, disciplined investment process. The sub-adviser seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective through stock
selection grounded in proprietary fundamental research and disciplined portfolio construction. Individual securities are ranked within industry sectors based on the attractiveness of their valuations. The sub-adviser believes this approach may
reduce the market timing, sector and style risks typically associated with active portfolio management while maintaining risk characteristics similar to the Funds benchmark.
The Fund generally invests 90% to 95% of total assets, at the time of purchase, in common stocks and equity-related securities. The Fund
principally invests in large capitalization companies. The sub-adviser may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve the Funds objective.
In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of
the Funds total assets. These loans earn income for the Fund and are collateralized by cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and such other securities as the Fund and the securities
lending agent may agree upon.

Growth & Income Fund
The Fund leverages the stock level insights of a broad, experienced team of large-cap equity research analysts. Each analyst is a sector specialist, conducting original proprietary fundamental research on
the companies in their area of expertise. Each analyst seeks to select stocks in which they have a high degree of confidence and where a compelling risk/reward relationship exists. The constant interaction among the research analyst team, portfolio
managers and broader organization promotes dynamic discussions by which the portfolio managers keep abreast of market developments and potential investment opportunities.
The securities considered for investment are issued by companies with a market capitalization of above $1 billion.
The sub-advisers proprietary dividend discount model is used to capture the analysts insights. The main factor in the dividend discount model is the analysts forecasts of company
earnings and dividends, which are determined by extensive analysis of each companys business outlook and financial situation. These earnings and dividend forecasts, in turn, are derived from data from profit/loss accounts, company balance
sheets and cash flow statements.
Long-term forecasts of future earnings, cash flows and dividends, as well as a stocks
current price, are key factors in the sub-advisers valuation model and are used to generate dividend discount rates (DDR). This helps determine if a stock is cheap or expensive.
Each stock under coverage is categorized into an industry sector. Stocks are ranked into quintiles within their respective sectors based
on DDRs. The DDRs are compared daily to rank stocks from those deemed to be the most attractive to the least attractive within each industry sector. The most undervalued stocks are ranked in the first quintile while the most overvalued stocks are
ranked in the fifth quintile.
The Fund may also invest in bonds, preferred stocks, convertible stocks and warrants in
addition to common stocks.
The Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk,
Preferred Stock Risk, and Convertible Securities Risk.
In the
Management

Investment Sub-Advisers
, all references
to SAAMCo with respect to the Growth & Income Fund are deleted in their entirety and the following paragraph is inserted at the end of the section regarding JPMIM:
The
Growth & Income Fund
is managed by a team led by Raffaele Zingone and Timothy Snyder. Mr. Zingone, Managing
Director and CFA charter holder, is a portfolio manager within the U.S. Disciplined Equity Team based in New York. A JPMIM employee since 1991, Mr. Zingone is responsible for the Research Enhanced Index (REI) strategies. Mr. Snyder, Vice
President and CFA and CMT charter holder, is also portfolio manager within the U.S. Disciplined Equity Team. A JPMIM employee since 2003, Mr. Snyder is responsible for implementation of the Research Enhanced Index (REI) strategies.
Upon the effective date of the MFS Sub-Advisory Agreement, SAAMCo and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) will cease to be sub-advisers to the
Large Capital Growth Fund, and the following changes will become effective with respect to the Large Capital Growth Fund:
In the
Fund Summary
, the
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
The Fund seeks to meet its objective by investing, normally, at least 80% of its net assets in securities of large-capitalization companies. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund
will invest primarily in common stocks.
Generally, large-cap companies will include companies whose
market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, are equal to or greater than the market capitalization of the smallest company in the Russell 1000
®
Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of the most recent annual reconstitution of the Russell 1000
®
Index on June 22, 2012, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Index was approximately $1.354 billion to $540 billion.
The Funds sub-adviser focuses on investing the Funds assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average
earnings growth potential compared to other companies. Growth companies tend to have stock prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures.
The Funds sub-adviser uses a bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Fund. Investments are selected
primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers. Quantitative models that systematically evaluate issuers may also be considered.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The sub-adviser may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve the Funds investment objective.
In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial
institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of the Funds total assets. These loans earn income for the Fund and are collateralized by cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its
agencies or instrumentalities, and such other securities as the Fund and the securities lending agent may agree upon.
