The Fund invests in companies regardless of market capitalization. As of January 31, 2026, the average market capitalization of the stocks held by the Fund was $62.40 billion. While the Fund is considered a diversified mutual fund, it employs a relatively concentrated investment strategy and may hold securities of fewer issuers than other diversified funds. Using in-depth analysis and on-site research, the Portfolio Managers focus on stocks with a potential value gap by screening for companies that they identify as having strong businesses and management, trading at attractive prices. The Portfolio Managers limit the portfolio to what they consider to be their best ideas and maintain a concentrated number of holdings. The Portfolio Managers typically sell an investment when the reasons for buying it no longer apply, such as when they determine that a companys prospects have changed, that a companys stock is fully valued by the market, or that the company is beginning to show deteriorating fundamentals. They also may sell an investment if it becomes, in their determination, too large of a position in the Fund. Show less
