The Fund defines large capitalization companies as those companies included in the Russell 1000 Index, a widely-recognized benchmark that measures the performance of the approximately 1,000 largest U.S. stocks, or with market capitalization within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index, at time of purchase. Equity securities in which the Fund invests include common stocks and preferred stocks. As a substitute for equities, the Fund also invests in derivatives that are equity equivalent securities or instruments whose values are based on common stocks (i.e., convertible securities, rights, warrants or options (stock or stock index), futures contracts (stock or stock index), and index swaps). The Fund may, from time to time, invest a significant portion of its total assets in securities of companies in a particular sector or sectors. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the information technology sector. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), which are companies that own and/or manage properties The Adviser has engaged Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("FT") to provide the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio pursuant to a multi-style and multi-manager approach and investment guidelines provided by the Adviser. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among a number of different investment strategies (or "sleeves"), each of which is advised by FT or by FT and a non-discretionary sub-adviser affiliated with FT that provides the Adviser and FT with investment recommendations in the form of a model portfolio, which FT utilizes to purchase and sell securities for the Fund. The non-discretionary sub-advisers utilize different investment strategies in providing investment recommendations for their respective sleeves, act independently from one another, and use their own methodologies for selecting investments. Non-discretionary sub-advisers may employ a fundamental investment approach, a quantitative investment approach, or a combination of both. The Fund's use of such model portfolios and the allocation of Fund assets may change at any time. FT also manages the Fund's cash balances and may manage portions of the Fund during transitions between non-discretionary sub-adviser strategies. Show less
