Enhanced US Large Co. Portfolio (I)
| Inception Date | Ticker Symbol | CUSIP Number |
| July 2, 1996 | DFELX | 233-203-637 |
The Enhanced US Large Company Portfolio is a no-load mutual fund designed to achieve a total return which exceeds the total return performance of the S&P 500 Index. Total return is comprised of income and capital appreciation. Generally, the Portfolio will invest in (1) S&P 500 Index stocks; (2) stock index futures, options on stock indices and stock index futures, and swaps ("index derivatives"); and/or (3) shares of investment companies that invest in stock indices, in conjunction with high-quality, short-term fixed income obligations. The percentage of assets invested in S&P 500 Index stocks, index derivatives, shares of investment companies, and fixed income instruments may vary from time to time, but the Portfolio will maintain a segregated account consisting of liquid assets (or, as permitted by applicable interpretations of the SEC, enter into offsetting positions) to cover its open positions in index derivatives to avoid leveraging the Portfolio.

Sector Allocations
Market Risk
Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities, and the funds that own them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in a fund will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money.
Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk
Foreign securities prices may decline or fluctuate because of: (a) economic or political actions of foreign governments, and/or (b) less regulated or liquid securities markets. Investors holding these securities are also exposed to foreign currency risk (the possibility that foreign currency will fluctuate in value against the US dollar).
