Investment objective & strategy
As of Feb. 25, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through investments in common stocks of growth companies.
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 growth characteristics. The fund considers a company to have growth characteristics if the companys securities are represented in an appropriate third-party growth-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. 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 … The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of large-cap companies with growth characteristics. The fund considers a company to have growth characteristics if the companys securities are represented in an appropriate third-party growth-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. 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. The fund uses a growth style of investing. Accordingly, the adviser looks for companies with an above-average rate of earnings and cash flow growth and a lucrative niche in the economy that gives them the ability to sustain earnings momentum even during times of slow economic growth. The fund may, to a limited extent, invest in privately held companies and companies that only recently began to trade publicly. At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector, such as the information technology sector. The fund is nondiversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than is permissible for a diversified fund.
