How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis for much of the period, and consumer price inflation trended
lower, falling below 3% in July. The Federal Reserve began cutting short-term interest rates in September, which boosted stock
returns, as did the prospect of tax cuts and deregulation under the incoming administration.
Ten of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors recorded positive returns for the 12 months. Information technology, the index’s largest
sector by weight, posted extremely strong results and was by far the greatest contributor to return. Financials and communication
services were also among the top contributors.
