Inflation protected securities may react differently from other debt securities to changes in interest rates. There is no guarantee strategies will be successful.

Sector-specific investments focus on a specific segment of the market, which can increase investment risks. Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks, including changes in credit quality, liquidity, prepayments, call risk, and other factors. Municipal securities are subject to the risks of adverse economic and regulatory changes in their issuing states. Real estate investment risks include changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Sustainability funds use environmental and social screens that may limit investment opportunities for the fund. Commodities include increased risks, such as political, economic, and currency instability, and may not be suitable for all investors. The Portfolio may be more volatile than a diversified fund because the Portfolio invests in a smaller number of issuers and commodity sectors. The fund prospectuses contain more information about investment risks. 14 # Standardized Performance Data & Disclosures AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS 1 (%) Since Date Net Expense Ratio 2 (%) FEES AND EXPENSES Total (Gross) Expense Management Fee after Ratio 2 (%) Management Fee 2 (%) Fee Waiver 2 (%) Symbol 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years US Equity Portfolios US Core Equity 1 Portfolio DFEOX /15/ US Core Equity 2 Portfolio DFQTX /15/ US Vector Equity Portfolio DFVEX /30/ US Micro Cap Portfolio DFSCX /23/ US Small Cap Portfolio DFSTX /19/ US Small Cap Value Portfolio DFSVX /2/ US Small Cap Growth Portfolio DSCGX /20/ US Targeted Value Portfolio DFFVX /23/ US Large Cap Value Portfolio DFLVX /19/ US Large Cap Growth Portfolio DUSLX /20/ US Large Company Portfolio DFUSX /23/ US Large Cap Equity Portfolio DUSQX /25/ Enhanced US Large Company Portfolio DFELX /2/ # Performance information as of 12/31/ Fee and expense information as of the prospectus dated 02/28/17.

Certain types of equity and fixed income funds were excluded from the performance study. For equities, index funds, sector funds, and funds with a narrow investment focus, such as real estate and gold, were excluded. Index funds, money market funds, municipal bond funds, and asset-backed security funds were excluded from fixed income. Funds are identified using Lipper fund classification codes. Correlation coefficients are computed for each fund with respect to diversified benchmark indices using all return data available between January 1, 2001, and December 31, The index most highly correlated with a fund is assigned as its benchmark. Winner funds are those whose cumulative return over the period exceeded that of their respective benchmark. Loser funds are funds that did not survive the period or whose cumulative return did not exceed their respective benchmark. Benchmark indices are not available for direct investment. Their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the management of an actual portfolio. Mutual fund investment values will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against a loss in a declining market. There is no guarantee investment strategies will be successful. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Expense ratio ranges: The ranges of expense ratios for equity funds over the five-, 10-, and 15-year periods are 0.01% to 4.90%, 0.01% to 4.72%, and 0.07% to 4.44%, respectively. For fixed income funds, ranges over the same periods are 0.02% to 3.09%, 0.06% to 2.67%, and 0.03% to 3.66%, respectively. Portfolio turnover ranges: Ranges for equity fund turnover over the five-, 10-, and 15-year periods are 1% to 1,535%, 1% to 1,388%, and 2% to 2,318%, respectively.
