Fund Description
The Fund is an aggressive growth fund that invests primarily in common stock of not less than 25 to not more than 45 companies that Fund management believes have strong earnings and revenue growth and capital appreciation potential (also known as “aggressive growth companies”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in large cap equity securities and derivatives that have similar economic characteristics to such securities. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, large cap equity securities are equity securities that at the time of purchase have a market capitalization within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Russell 1000 Growth Index”). The Russell 1000 Growth Index is a capitalization-weighted index from a broad range of industries chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Equity securities consist of common stock, preferred stock and other financial instruments that are components of, or have characteristics similar to, the securities included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) which are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence underlying securities issued by a foreign company. In addition to ADRs, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of foreign companies. The Fund may also purchase convertible securities.
