Investment objective & strategy

As of April 21, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Series has an investment objective of long-term growth of capital.

Strategy. The Series invests in a select group of large market capitalization growth companies believed by the Series subadviser to be undervalued relative to their future growth potential. The investment strategy emphasizes companies the subadviser believes to have a sustainable competitive advantage, strong management and low financial risk, and to be able to grow over market cycles. Although the Series invests primarily in U.S. companies, it may invest in foreign securities and depositary receipts. Under normal conditions, the Series invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of large capitalization companies. The subadviser considers large capitalization companies for this purpose to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations within the range of the … The Series invests in a select group of large market capitalization growth companies believed by the Series subadviser to be undervalued relative to their future growth potential. The investment strategy emphasizes companies the subadviser believes to have a sustainable competitive advantage, strong management and low financial risk, and to be able to grow over market cycles. Although the Series invests primarily in U.S. companies, it may invest in foreign securities and depositary receipts. Under normal conditions, the Series invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of large capitalization companies. The subadviser considers large capitalization companies for this purpose to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 1000 Growth Index on a rolling three-year basis. Because large capitalization companies are defined by reference to an index, the market capitalization of companies in which the Series may invest may vary with market conditions. As of December 31, 2024, the total market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index over the past three years was $86.3 million to $3.79 trillion. The Series may also invest in small and medium capitalization companies. Generally, the Series invests in approximately 25-50 securities at any given time.
