Fund Description

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks of small cap companies. The fund currently considers small cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that fall within the market capitalization range of companies comprising the Russell 2000® Index, the fund's benchmark index. As of November 30, 2023, the market capitalizations of the smallest and largest companies in the index were approximately $21 million and $14.4 billion, respectively, and the weighted average and median market capitalizations of the index were approximately $2.9 billion and $840 million, respectively. Stocks are selected for the fund's portfolio based primarily on bottom-up fundamental analysis. The fund's sub-adviser uses a disciplined investment process that relies, in general, on proprietary fundamental research and valuation. Generally, elements of the process include analysis of a company's business prospects, estimation of the company's value and the identification of events or a catalyst that could cause the estimated value of the company to change. In general, the fund seeks exposure

to securities and sectors that the fund's sub-adviser perceives to be attractive from a valuation and fundamental standpoint.

The fund typically sells a stock when, in the sub-adviser's view, it approaches intrinsic value, a significant deterioration of fundamental expectations develops, the revaluation catalyst becomes impaired or a better risk/reward opportunity is presented in the marketplace.
