Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund primarily invests in common stock and preferred stock of U.S. small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund currently defines small- and mid-capitalization companies to be those with market capitalizations at the time of purchase between $250 million and $10 billion or otherwise within the range of capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2500 Growth Index (between $160.95 million and $15.776billion as of April28, 2023, the date of the latest reconstitution of the Index (implemented by the Index June 23, 2023)). The Fund may continue to hold securities of a portfolio company that subsequently drops below or appreciates above this threshold. Because of this, the Fund may have less than 80% of its net assets in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies at any given time.
Through its fundamental research and proprietary screening, GW&K Investment Management, LLC, the subadviser to the Fund (“GW&K” or the “Subadviser”), seeks to identify quality
companies with growth oriented characteristics. GW&K seeks to assemble a portfolio of securities diversified as to companies and sectors.
The Subadviser seeks to focus on quality small- and mid-capitalization companies with sound management and long-term sustainable growth. In selecting companies for the Fund, the Subadviser looks for firms with the following key attributes:
Experienced, tenured, high quality management;
Business models that deliver consistent long-term growth;
○Leading companies in attractive and defensible niche markets;
Strong financial characteristics; and
Appropriate valuation.
