Investment objective & strategy

As of Feb. 24, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital.

Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large capitalization U.S. companies (or other financial instruments that derive their value from the securities of such companies). For the Fund, large capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations at least as large as the smallest company in the Russell 1000 Index (a widely used benchmark of the largest domestic stocks) or companies included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index (a widely used benchmark of the largest domestic growth stocks). Though market capitalizations will change from time to time, as of December 31, 2025, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000 Index ranged … Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large capitalization U.S. companies (or other financial instruments that derive their value from the securities of such companies). For the Fund, large capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations at least as large as the smallest company in the Russell 1000 Index (a widely used benchmark of the largest domestic stocks) or companies included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index (a widely used benchmark of the largest domestic growth stocks). Though market capitalizations will change from time to time, as of December 31, 2025, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000 Index ranged from approximately $1.3 billion to $4.6 trillion, and the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index ranged from approximately $1.6 billion to $4.6 trillion. To determine whether a company is a U.S. company, the Sub-Adviser will consider various factors, including where the company is headquartered, where the companys principal operations are located, where a majority of the companys revenues are derived, where the companys principal trading market is located, the country in which the company was legally organized, and whether the company is in the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks issued by large capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund seeks to invest in securities of growth companies commonly identified by their relatively high book/price ratio or by their membership in the Russell 1000 Growth Index and that the Sub-Adviser expects to have higher returns. Although the Fund normally invests across a range of market sectors and industry groups, the Fund may from time to time invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or a limited number of sectors. The Fund seeks securities of companies that the Sub-Adviser expects to have higher returns by placing an enhanced emphasis on securities of companies with more attractive profitability and valuation characteristics. Conversely, the Fund seeks to deemphasize or exclude securities that the Sub-Adviser expects to have lower returns, such as securities of companies with less attractive profitability and valuation characteristics. To identify companies with more attractive profitability and valuation characteristics, the Sub-Adviser uses reported and/or estimated company financials and market data including, but not limited to, shares outstanding, book value and its components, cash flows from operations, and accruals. The Sub-Adviser defines profitability mainly as adjusted cash from operations to book value ratio (though other ratios may be considered). The Sub-Adviser defines valuation characteristics mainly as adjusted book/price ratio (though other price to fundamentals ratios may be considered). The Sub-Adviser may also consider other factors when selecting a security, including its industry classification, its past performance relative to other eligible securities, its liquidity, its float, and tax, governance or cost considerations, among other factors. To determine the weight of a security within the portfolio, the Sub-Adviser uses the market capitalization of the security relative to that of other eligible securities as a baseline and then overweights or underweights the security based on the Sub-Advisers consideration of the characteristics described above. The Sub-Adviser may deemphasize or dispose of a security if it no longer has the desired market capitalization, profitability, or valuation characteristics. When determining whether to deemphasize or dispose of a security, the Sub-Adviser will also consider, among other things, relative past performance, costs, and taxes. The Sub-Adviser will review the criteria for inclusion in the portfolio on a regular basis to maintain a focus on the desired set of large capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund is non-diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and may invest overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Sub-Adviser continually analyzes market and financial data to make buy, sell, and hold decisions. When buying or selling a security, the Sub-Adviser may consider the trade-off between expected returns of the security and implementation or tax costs of the trade in an attempt to gain trading efficiencies, avoid unnecessary risk, and enhance Fund performance.
