Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis and other investment techniques to identify stocks of companies that it believes have demonstrated and believes will sustain above-average revenue and earnings growth over time, or which are expected to develop rapid sales and earnings growth in the future when compared to the economy and stock market as a whole. Many such companies are in the technology sector and the Fund may at times have a higher concentration in this industry. The Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or reposition assets to more promising opportunities. Show less
