Effective December 11, 2025, normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of value companies. Value companies are companies the Adviser believes are undervalued in the marketplace. The Adviser considers traditional and other measures of value, such as whether the company is included in a third-party value benchmark or classified as a value company by a third-party vendor, whether the company's free cash flow yield is above the equity market median, whether the company's enterprise value (the total value of a company's outstanding equity and debt) relative to earnings is below the equity market median, or whether the company's price-to-book (P/B) ratio or projected price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is below the equity market median. An issuer may be determined to be a value company under any of these factors. Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives.
