Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of smaller companies. The Fund primarily chooses investments that the Adviser believes are likely to have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings and potential for above-average capital appreciation. Smaller companies are those with market capitalizations at the time of investment between $0.8 billion and $7 billion. The Fund is not required to sell equity securities whose market values appreciate or depreciate outside this market capitalization range. From time to time, in pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of its investments in specific sectors of the economy, such as the industrials sector. However, as the sector composition of the Fund’s portfolio changes over time, the Fund’s exposure to the industrials sector may be lower at a future date, and the Fund’s exposure to other market sectors may be higher. The Fund seeks to invest in the equity securities of high quality companies, as determined by the Adviser, that typically exhibit certain characteristics, including high profitability levels, strong balance sheet quality, competitive advantages, ability to generate excess cash flows, meaningful management ownership stakes, attractive reinvestment opportunities, strong market share positions, and/or attractive relative valuation. These equity securities primarily consist of common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
