Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in common stocks of approximately 20 to 35 companies, primarily with large market capitalizations. The Fund will normally invest in common stocks of companies having market capitalizations that rank among the top 1,000 U.S. companies. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (including depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), which are either sponsored or unsponsored, that evidence ownership in underlying foreign stocks) and in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest, a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. The Fund may also lend its securities.
Through investment in high quality companies, the portfolio management team seeks to build a portfolio that may participate in rising markets while minimizing participation in declining markets. Quality is determined by analysis of a company’s financial statements and is measured by a company’s demonstrated ability to consistently grow earnings over the long-term. The portfolio managers believe that high quality companies typically have strong balance sheets, sustainable cash flow, enduring competitive advantages, long product cycles, and stable demand over a business cycle, among other characteristics. The portfolio managers also may utilize “financial quality rankings” provided by nationally recognized rating services when determining quality.
The portfolio managers are responsible for fundamental analysis and security selection. They typically favor high quality companies they believe have sustainable above-average earnings growth potential and are trading below intrinsic value. Sustainable earnings growth potential is determined by fundamental analysis of a company’s financial trends; products and services; industry position and conditions; and other factors including portfolio managers’ assessment of company management. The portfolio managers seek to manage individual security risk through analysis of each security’s risk/reward potential and to manage portfolio risk by constructing a portfolio of what they believe to be attractively valued growth companies. The portfolio managers may sell a security when its fundamentals deteriorate, when its valuation is no longer attractive, or when other securities are identified to displace a current holding.
