Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in large-cap companies, but may invest in common stocks of companies of any market capitalization, including smaller companies.

The Fund generally expects to hold approximately 25 to 40 stocks.

The Fund may also invest in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a type of pooled investment vehicle, in order to manage cash positions or seek exposure to certain markets or market sectors. The Fund may also lend its securities. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. Investment decisions are made primarily on the basis of fundamental research. The Fund employs a growth at a reasonable price investing style, seeking to acquire growing companies that the portfolio managers believe are reasonably priced in relation to their fundamental value. The portfolio managers may seek to capitalize on market volatility and the actions of short-term investors. The portfolio managers utilize information provided by, and the expertise of the investment advisers research staff in making investment decisions. In selecting stocks, the portfolio managers will consider (among other factors) a companys earnings or cash flow capabilities, financial strength, growth potential, the strength of the companys business franchises and management team, sustainability of a companys competitiveness and estimates of the companys net value. The portfolio managers seek to manage investment risk through rigorous fundamental analysis of risk/return characteristics in securities selection. The portfolio managers also use various risk tools to help manage and monitor the portfolios risk profile as well as an individual stocks valuation, volatility and other risk characteristics. Such risk tools include quantitative tools to assist in portfolio construction, monitoring, and maintaining issuer and industry diversification among the Funds holdings. The portfolio managers may sell a security when they believe it is fully valued, the fundamentals of a company deteriorate, a stocks price falls below its acquisition cost, management fails to execute its strategy or to pursue more attractive investment options.
