Investment Objectives

The Fund's objective is to provide long-term capital growth. It invests primarily in equity securities of established U.S. companies.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager follows a bottom-up growth investment style. It uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a company’s growth potential, financial condition and management. As part of this evaluation, the portfolio manager looks for companies that have above-average earnings and/or revenue growth, display key growth characteristics relative to their own history, industry or overall market, and can sustain their competitive position.
