The Fund tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above-average earnings. In selecting securities in which to invest, PGI uses a bottom-up, fundamental process, focusing on a fundamental analysis of individual companies. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. On or about July 22, 2025, add the following paragraph: The Fund is considered non-diversified, which means it can invest a higher percentage of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund's share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.
