Fund Description
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of issuers engaged in technology-related industries, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.
The Fund will concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers engaged primarily in technology-related industries. The Fund considers an issuer to be doing business in technology-related industries if it meets at least one of the following tests: (1) at least 50% of its gross income or its net sales come from activities in technology-related industries; (2) at least 50% of its total assets are devoted to producing revenues in technology-related industries; or (3) based on other available information, the Fund’s portfolio manager determines that its primary business is within technology-related industries. Such other available information may include industry classifications from any one or more third-party providers, such as those using the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) or the Bloomberg Industry Classification System (BICS).
Issuers in technology-related industries include, but are not limited to, those involved in the design, manufacture, distribution, licensing, or provision of various applied technologies, hardware, software, semiconductors, telecommunications equipment and telecommunications/media distribution services, medical technology, biotechnology, as well as service-related companies in the information technology industry.
The Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund’s portfolio manager to have potential for earnings or revenue growth. While the portfolio manager may invest in securities of issuers of any market capitalization, the portfolio manager tends to favor the securities of mid- and large-capitalization issuers.
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, which may include securities of issuers located in emerging market countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles. The Fund may invest in depositary receipts or local shares to gain exposure to foreign companies.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including options and futures contracts.
The Fund can use options, including call options, for hedging and investment purposes.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk.
The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager looks for companies using a “bottom-up” stock selection process. The “bottom-up” approach focuses on fundamental analysis of individual issuers before considering the impact of overall economic, market or industry trends. This approach includes analysis of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations, product development, and its industry position. The portfolio manager currently focuses on companies that the portfolio manager believes are characterized by industry leadership, market share growth, high caliber management teams, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong growth themes or new innovative products or services. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so. The factors considered by the portfolio manager may vary in particular cases and may change over time.
