Investor profile: You may want to invest in the Small Cap Index Fund if you can tolerate the price fluctuations and volatility that are inherent in investing in a broad based small cap stock mutual fund, want to invest in stocks - but with an indexing approach, want to diversify your investments, are seeking a growth investment as part of an asset allocation program, and/or are investing for retirement or other goals that are many years in the future. You can open an account in this fund with a minimum initial investment of $250 ($50 by automatic investment).
You may not want to invest in the Small Cap Index Fund if you are investing with a shorter investment time horizon in mind, are seeking income rather than capital appreciation, or are uncomfortable with an investment whose value is likely to vary substantially.
Investment objective: Seeks to match as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000® Index* (the "Russell 2000 Index").
Investment strategy: The Small Cap Index Fund invests all of its assets in a separate series of the Master Fund, called the Russell 2000 Index Master Portfolio. The Russell 2000 Index Master Portfolio and the Small Cap Index Fund have substantially similar investment objectives. Northern Trust Investments, N.A. ("Northern Trust") is the investment adviser to the Russell 2000 Index Master Portfolio.
Under normal operating conditions, the Russell 2000 Index Master Portfolio seeks to invest at least 90% of its total assets in stocks that are represented in the Russell 2000 Index.

Risks
The main risks of investing in the Small Cap Index Fund are the same as the main risks of investing in the Russell 2000 Index Master Portfolio.
An investment in the Small Cap Index Fund is not a deposit of any bank or other insured depository institution and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. You can lose money by investing in the Fund.
It is important to note that there is market risk involved when investing in mutual funds, including possible loss of principal.
An automatic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. An automatic investment plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating prices. You should consider your financial ability to continue purchases through periods of high or low price levels.
The stocks of small companies are more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
It is important to note that diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
