Fund Description

The Portfolio will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities issued by technology and communications companies, both domestic and foreign, regardless of their stock market value (or “market capitalization”). Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and warrants. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign companies. The Adviser employs a top-down and bottom-up investment approach. The Adviser begins with the overall outlook for the economy, then identifies specific industries which should benefit from economic trends and the investment environment. Individual securities are then selected based on fundamental analysis, growth potential, earnings, valuation, competitive advantages and the opportunity of each issuer. Ultimately, the Adviser seeks to identify high-quality companies at attractive prices whose long-term enduring value is underappreciated.

The Portfolio defines a “technology company” as an entity in which at least 50% of the company’s revenues or earnings were derived from technology activities or at least 50% of the company’s assets were devoted to such activities, based upon the company’s most recent fiscal year. Technology companies may include, among others, companies that are engaged in the research, design, development or manufacturing of technology products. These companies include, among others, those in the Internet, medical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, computer software and hardware industries. The Portfolio defines a “communications company” as an entity in which at least 50% of the company’s revenues or earnings were derived from communications activities or at least 50% of the company’s assets were devoted to such activities, based upon the company’s most recent fiscal year.

Communications activities may include, among others, regular telephone service; communications equipment and services; electronic components and equipment; broadcasting; computer software and hardware; semiconductors; mobile communications and cellular radio/paging; electronic mail and other electronic data transmission services; networking and linkage of word and data processing systems; publishing and information systems; video text and teletext; emerging technologies combining telephone, television and/or computer systems; and Internet and network equipment and services.

When market or financial conditions warrant, the Portfolio may also make temporary investments in investment grade debt securities. Such investment strategies could result in the Portfolio not achieving its investment objective.
