Strategy. The Fund anticipates that it will invest primarily in equity securities issued by U.S. companies. The Fund's portfolio may include securities of well-established companies with large market capitalizations as well as small, unseasoned companies. The Fund's investment adviser generally defines a large cap company to have a market capitalization in excess of $25 billion and a mid-sized company to have a market capitalization greater than $1 billion, up to $25 billion. Generally, a small cap company is defined by the investment adviser as having a market capitalization of up to $1 billion. The market capitalization of a security is measured at the time of purchase.

Generally, a small cap company is defined by the investment adviser as having a market capitalization of up to $1 billion. The market capitalization of a security is measured at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. Foreign securities are securities issued by issuers that are organized under the laws of a foreign country or that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets in a foreign country or countries, or that derive a substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside of the United States. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the United States securities markets by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") or similar depository arrangements. The Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. Debt securities issued by a foreign government may not be supported by the "full faith and credit" of that government. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks out stocks that, in the investment adviser's opinion, are undervalued according to certain financial measurements of their intrinsic value (such as the present value of the company's future free cash flow). The Fund's investment adviser typically considers the company's financial soundness, earnings and cash flow forecast and quality of management. The Fund's investment adviser seeks to lower the risks of investing in stocks by using a "top-down approach" of diversification by company, industry, sector, country and currency and focusing on macro-level investment themes.
