Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance for periods greater than one year is annualized. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted.
Performance prior to 10/23/2023 is based on the historical performance of Callodine Equity Income Fund, LP (the “Predecessor Fund”), which was managed by Callodine Capital Management, LP and reorganized into the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. Callodine Equity Income Series on 10/23/2023. Inception performance is based on the Predecessor Fund’s inception of 01/01/2022.
The Predecessor Fund, a private investment company, was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions. If the Predecessor Fund had operated as a registered mutual fund, performance may have been lower. The Predecessor Fund’s fees and expenses were higher than the fees and expenses of the Series’ Z Shares. Accordingly, performance shown for the Class Z shares is the Predecessor Fund’s performance unadjusted.

A Word About Risk

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. As with any fund that invests in equities, the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Investing in the Series will involve several other risks, including issuer-specific risk, small-cap/mid-cap risk, concentration risk, foreign investment risk, and the risk that the investment approach may not be successful. The Series invests primarily in income-producing securities. There is no assurance or guarantee that companies which issue dividends will declare, continue to pay, or increase dividends. The Series is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. Additionally, the Series may at times invest more heavily in a particular sector. As a result, the Series may be more susceptible to adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers or sectors and, therefore, may experience increased volatility. Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies with more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements, and may be less marketable than and fail more often than larger companies. Investments in foreign countries may be subject to the risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory, and other conditions as well as risks related to the use of different financial standards. Investments in emerging markets may be more volatile than investments in more developed markets. The Series may invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate: interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and changes in property value, among others. The Series may also invest a portion of its assets in business development companies (BDCs) or master limited partnerships (MLPs). BDCs are subject to additional risks, as they generally invest in less mature private companies or thinly traded U.S. public companies which involve greater risk than well-established publicly traded companies. MLPs are subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the partnership invests. To the extent that an MLP’s interests are all in a particular industry, the MLP will be negatively impacted by economic events adversely impacting that industry. Additionally, the potential tax benefits from investing in MLPs depend on their continued treatment as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. The Series may invest in fixed income securities. There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates; as interest rates rise, bond prices (and therefore the value of bond funds) fall. Likewise, as interest rates fall, bond prices and the value of bond funds rise. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities involve additional risks, including a higher risk of default and loss of principal. Investments in options, like all derivatives, can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying instrument on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty, correlation, and liquidity risk.
