As of February 27, 2026, the benchmark capitalization range was $7.0 million to $43.6 billion. As of February 27, 2026, the weighted average market capitalization of the benchmark index was approximately $6.5 billion as compared to approximately $8.1 billion for the companies within the Fund’s portfolio. Please note that these market capitalization measures will fluctuate over time. /p /td /tr /table table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" tr style="vertical-align: top" td style="width: 13.5pt" /td td style="width: 18pt; vertical-align: top; text-align: right" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"● /p /td td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"The team implements an investment strategy primarily through independent “bottom-up” fundamental research. The team constructs a portfolio designed to generate alpha, or risk-adjusted excess return relative to the Fund’s benchmark, primarily through stock selection. /p /td /tr /table table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" tr style="vertical-align: top" td style="width: 13.5pt" /td td style="width: 18pt; vertical-align: top; text-align: right" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"● /p /td td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"The team uses a proprietary discounted cash flow (DCF) model for purposes of valuing and generating price targets for individual stocks. The DCF model is utilized for two primary purposes – to understand what assumptions are implied in a stock’s current price, and to generate an expected value for each stock, based on the team’s internally generated forecasts. /p /td /tr /table table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" tr style="vertical-align: top" td style="width: 13.5pt" /td td style="width: 18pt; vertical-align: top; text-align: right" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"● /p /td td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"With respect to portfolio structure, the team typically maintains exposure to most sectors within the benchmark; however, with an active management process, there will be variances in sector exposure relative to the benchmark index. The team maintains guidelines to monitor this variance. /p /td /tr /table table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" tr style="vertical-align: top" td style="width: 13.5pt" /td td style="width: 18pt; vertical-align: top; text-align: right" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"● /p /td td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"The Fund expects to only invest in securities of companies whose stock is traded on U.S. markets, including depositary receipts or shares issued by companies incorporated outside of the United States (e.g., ADRs). /p /td /tr /table table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" tr style="vertical-align: top" td style="width: 13.5pt" /td td style="width: 18pt; vertical-align: top; text-align: right" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"● /p /td td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"Stocks may be sold when conditions have changed and the company’s prospects are no longer attractive, its stock price has achieved the team’s valuation target, certain objective criteria are met or better relative investment opportunities have been identified. /p /td /tr /table
