Investment objective & strategy

As of Feb. 27, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. Alger Capital Appreciation Institutional Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Manager believes companies undergoing Positive Dynamic Change offer the best opportunities. Positive Dynamic Change refers to companies realizing High Unit Volume Growth or companies undergoing Positive Lifecycle Change. High Unit Volume Growth companies are traditional growth companies experiencing, for example, rapidly growing demand or market dominance. Positive Lifecycle Change companies are, for example, companies benefitting from new regulations, a new product innovation or new management. Under normal market circumstances, the Fund invests at least 85% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies of any market capitalization that the Manager believes demonstrate promising growth potential. Equity securities include common or preferred stocks that are listed on U.S. or foreign exchanges.

Equity securities include common or preferred stocks that are listed on U.S. or foreign exchanges. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies conducting business within a single sector, as defined by third party sources, including, but not limited to, the information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors. For the purpose of categorizing companies, sectors are a broader category than industries and industries comprise sectors. The Fund may sell a stock when it reaches a target price, it fails to perform as expected, or other opportunities appear more attractive. As a result, the Fund may engage in active trading of portfolio securities. The Fund can also invest in privately placed securities, which are securities acquired in non-public offerings for which there is no readily available market. The Fund can invest in foreign securities. The Fund may invest in cash (and cash equivalents) when the Fund is unable to find enough attractive long-term investments to meet its investment objective, to meet redemptions and/or when the Manager believes it is advisable to do so during times of short-term market volatility. During these times, cash (and cash equivalents) will not exceed 15% of the Funds net assets.
