Investment objective & strategy

As of April 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks long term growth of capital.

Strategy. FIAM LLC, the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), seeks to achieve the Fund's objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in stocks, or other investments that the Subadviser believes have similar economic characteristics, of mid-capitalization companies. The Subadviser defines mid-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Midcap Index (the "Russell Index") or the S&P MidCap 400 Index (the "S&P 400 Index") at the time of purchase. Although expected to change frequently, the market capitalization range of the Russell Index was approximately $272.84 million to $197.39 billion, and the market capitalization range of the S&P 400 Index was … FIAM LLC, the Fund's subadviser (the "Subadviser"), seeks to achieve the Fund's objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in stocks, or other investments that the Subadviser believes have similar economic characteristics, of mid-capitalization companies. The Subadviser defines mid-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Midcap Index (the "Russell Index") or the S&P MidCap 400 Index (the "S&P 400 Index") at the time of purchase. Although expected to change frequently, the market capitalization range of the Russell Index was approximately $272.84 million to $197.39 billion, and the market capitalization range of the S&P 400 Index was approximately $1.2 billion to $18.5 billion, as of March 31, 2025. The Fund may also invest in securities of companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations. The Fund may invest in equity securities of domestic or foreign issuers. The Fund typically allocates its assets across different market sectors, including communication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, real estate, and utilities, using other portfolio managers of the Subadviser to handle investments within each sector. The Subadviser expects the Fund's sector allocations will approximate the sector weightings of the S&P 400 Index. The Fund may invest in either "growth" stocks, "value" stocks, or both. The Subadviser uses fundamental analysis, which involves a "bottom-up" assessment of an issuer's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and market and economic conditions, to select the Fund's investments.
