Our goal1

Long-term capital growth

What we invest in

The Fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in medium-sized U.S. companies and may also invest upto 25% of its assets in securitiesof foreign issuers.

Our approach

The Fund's managers apply a disciplined core investment strategy combining in-depth fundamental and a quantitative analysis that removes emotion from the investment process. In selecting companies, the managers considera number of factors, including various measures of cash-flow generation, earning power, growth prospects, balance sheet strength and quality of management.

What should I know before investing?

Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Short selling is a speculative strategy. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short.

Exchange Privileges: Many mutual funds that charge front-end sales loads offer a discount on the sales loads for a large investment. The investment levels required to obtain a reduced sales load are commonly referred to as "breakpoints." Typically, you may be entitled to a lower front-end load based on a single transaction if the dollar amount exceeds one or more breakpoints. In addition, some funds offer discounts based on purchases made over time, under a right of accumulation or letter of intent. The criteria for breakpoints for each mutual fund are set out in the fund prospectus and statements of additional information. FINRA issued an Investor Alert to ensure that investors better understand how breakpoints work and what you may need to know to make sure that, should you purchase shares eligible for breakpoints, you are charged the lowest possible front-end sales charge. Visit the FINRA Website to read the FINRA Investor Alert.
