Investment objective & strategy

As of April 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital primarily through investment in equity securities.

Strategy. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in equity securities, or other investments with similar economic characteristics, of companies with large market capitalizations. Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc., the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), defines large capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. Although expected to change frequently, the market capitalization range of the Index was approximately $272 million to $710 billion as of March 31, 2025.

Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc., the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), defines large capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. Although expected to change frequently, the market capitalization range of the Index was approximately $272 million to $710 billion as of March 31, 2025. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities that are identified by the Subadviser as having value characteristics. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign currency-denominated securities, measured at the time of investment. The Fund may participate as a purchaser in initial public offerings of securities ("IPOs"). The Subadviser 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 return on equity and earnings growth and cash flow. The Subadviser selects securities for the Fund based on a continuous study of trends in industries and companies, earnings power and growth, and other investment criteria. The Subadviser typically may sell investments when it believes that they no longer offer attractive future returns compared with other investment opportunities or that they present undesirable risks or in an attempt to limit losses on investments that may decline or have declined in value.
