The fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of equity and equity-related securities of issuers with a market capitalization within the range of the Russell 1000 Value Index and identified by the manager as having value characteristics. Equity and equity-related securities for purposes of this policy include common stocks, real estate investment trusts, American depositary receipts, over-the-counter securities, and partnerships. The manager examines various factors in determining the value characteristics of issuers, including price-to-book value ratios and price-to-earnings ratios. These value characteristics are examined in the context of the issuer's operating and financial fundamentals, such as a continuous study of trends in industries or companies, return-on-equity and earnings growth and cash flow. The fund generally invests in the equity securities of issuers the manager believes are undervalued. The manager applies a bottom-up stock selection process using a combination of fundamental and quantitative analysis of issuer-specific factors such as price-to-book value, price-to-sales and earnings ratios, dividend yields, strength of management, and cash flow. The fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including securities that are illiquid by virtue of the absence of a readily available market or legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The fund also may participate as a purchaser in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). The fund may also seek to increase its income by lending portfolio securities. Due to the nature of certain of the funds investments, the fund may, under certain circumstances, effect a portion or all of creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. The fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund and may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer.
