Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of large-capitalization companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer.The Fund normally invests in companies that the sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”) believes have above-average growth prospects. For this Fund, the Sub-Adviser defines large-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies within the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index”) at the time of purchase. The market capitalization of companies within the Index will change with market conditions. As of June 30, 2024, the market capitalization of companies within the Index ranged from $477.2 million to $ 3.3 trillion.In managing the Fund, the Sub-Adviser uses a stock selection process that combines quantitative screens with rigorous fundamental security analysis. The quantitative screens focus the fundamental analysis by seeking to identify the stocks of companies that exhibit strong business momentum and relative price strength, and which have a perceived value by the Sub-Adviser that is not reflected in the current price. The fundamental security analysis is intended to confirm the persistence of the company’s revenue and earnings growth, and validate the Sub-Adviser’s expectations for earnings estimate revisions, particularly relative to consensus estimates. A determination of reasonable valuation for individual securities is based on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser.The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments which include, but are not limited to, futures or index futures that have a similar investment profile to the Index. The Fund typically uses derivative instruments to maintain equity exposure on its cash balance.The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign (non-U.S.) securities.The Fund may invest in real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and under the terms of applicable no-action relief or exemptive orders granted thereunder.In evaluating investments for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser takes into account a wide variety of factors and considerations to determine whether any or all of those factors or considerations might have a material effect on the value, risks, or prospects of a company. Among the factors considered, the Sub-Adviser expects typically to take into account environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors. In considering ESG factors, the Sub-Adviser intends to rely primarily on factors identified through its proprietary empirical research and on third-party evaluations of a company’s ESG standing. ESG factors will be only one of many considerations in the Sub-Adviser’s evaluation of any potential investment; the extent to which ESG factors will affect the Sub-Adviser’s decision to invest in a company, if at all, will depend on the analysis and judgment of the Sub-Adviser.The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising.The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 30% of its total assets.
