As of Feb. 25, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks believed to be undervalued.
Strategy. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of large-cap companies with value characteristics. The fund considers a company to have value characteristics if the companys securities are represented in an appropriate third-party value-oriented index. Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested by the funds name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the funds name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the funds 80% investment policy.

Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested by the funds name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the funds name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the funds 80% investment policy. The fund defines a large-cap company as a company whose market capitalization falls above the minimum market capitalization in the MSCI USA Large Cap Index or MSCI World Large Cap Index (after systematically removing any companies that cannot reasonably be considered a large-cap company from the low end of the range of each index). The market capitalization of the companies in the indexes change over time and the indexes are periodically reconstituted to ensure that they continue to accurately reflect the large-cap equity market. As of December 31, 2025, the smallest market capitalization represented across these indexes (after removing any outlier companies) was $18 billion. In taking a value approach to investment selection, the adviser seeks to identify companies that appear to be undervalued by various measures, and may be temporarily out of favor, but have good prospects for capital appreciation. In selecting investments, the adviser generally looks for one or more of the following: ? low price/earnings, price/book value, price/sales, or price/cash flow ratios relative to the broader equity market, a companys peers, or a companys own historical norm; ? low stock price relative to a companys underlying asset values or intrinsic value; ? companies that may benefit from restructuring activity; and/or ? a sound balance sheet and other positive financial characteristics. At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector.
