The US Large Company Portfolio is a no-load mutual fund designed to approximate the investment performance of the S&P 500 Index, both in terms of the price of the Portfolio's shares and its total investment return. The Portfolio intends to invest in all of the stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The S&P 500 Index is comprised of a broad and diverse group of stocks, most of which are traded on the NYSE. Generally, these are the US stocks with the largest market capitalizations and, as a group, they represent approximately 70% of the total market capitalization of all publicly traded US stocks.
For a full description, please consult the Portfolio's prospectus.

Performance data represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance displayed. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate such that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and are net of all fees and expenses. Prior to April 2002, certain international equity portfolios charged a reimbursement fee to the purchasers of shares of those portfolios.
