Fund Description
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of companies that portfolio management believes have a life science orientation. In the Fund’s pursuit of companies with a life science orientation, the Fund has a fundamental policy to normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities of companies that are categorized in the “life sciences” sector, which may include companies in the following industry groups: pharmaceuticals; biotechnology; health care services; agriculture; cosmetics/personal care; and medical devices. Generally speaking, the “life sciences” relate to maintaining or improving quality of life. So, for example, companies with a “life science orientation” include companies engaged in research, development, production, or distribution of products or services related to health and personal care, medicine, or pharmaceuticals. The Fund implements its investment policies by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies selected for their growth potential. The Fund normally invests in issuers from several different countries, which may include the United States. An issuer is deemed to be economically tied to a country or countries if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the issuer is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in, the country; (ii) a majority of the issuer’s revenues are derived from one or more countries; or (iii) a majority of the issuer’s assets are located in one or more countries. The Fund may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Fund may invest in shares of companies through initial public offerings and private placements.Portfolio management applies a “bottom up” approach in choosing investments. In other words, portfolio management looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies. In conducting the “bottom up” analysis, portfolio management considers factors including a company’s growth potential, the strength of a company’s management, and a company’s sustainable competitive advantages, returns on investment capital, and cash flow generation. Portfolio management also applies screens, which incorporate third-party inputs, to (i) seek to avoid investing in issuers that are United Nations Global Compact violators and (ii) seek to invest at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets, under normal circumstances, in issuers with an MSCI (or an equivalent third-party data provider, as determined by portfolio management) ESG rating of BB or higher.The Fund will generally consider selling a stock when, in portfolio management’s opinion, the stock shows declining fundamentals, its competitive advantages have deteriorated, or if the stock reaches its targeted value. The Fund will also consider selling a stock if, in portfolio management’s opinion, a superior investment opportunity arises.The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
