The Fund invests in growth-oriented common stocks by utilizing a quantitative formula known as the Cornerstone Growth Strategy (the Growth Strategy). From the investable common stocks of public companies in the S&P Capital IQ Database with market capitalizations exceeding $175 million, the Growth Strategy identifies the 50 common stocks with the highest one-year price appreciation as of the date of purchase that also meet the following criteria: Price-to-sales ratio below 1.5 The Growth Strategy uses price-to-sales as its value criterion because sales figures are more difficult for a company to manipulate than earnings and frequently provide a clearer picture of a companys potential value. Annual earnings that are higher than the previous year The Growth Strategy considers improved earnings to be a key indicator of a companys financial strength. Positive stock price appreciation over the past three-month and six-month periods The Growth Strategy considers stock price appreciation because it is often associated with positive fundamentals, such as strong growth or improving profitability. The Fund purchases these 50 stocks weighted equally by dollar amount, with 2% of the portfolios assets invested in each. Using the Growth Strategy, the universe of stocks is re-screened and the portfolio is rebalanced annually, generally in the winter. Stocks meeting the Growth Strategys criteria not currently in the portfolio are purchased, and stocks that no longer meet the criteria are sold. Holdings of all stocks in the Fund that continue to meet the criteria are appropriately increased or decreased to result in an equal 2% weighting. As of January 31, 2026, the average and median market capitalizations of the stocks held by the Fund were $33.8 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively. Show less
