The Fund’s sub-advisors pursue a growth style of investing. They select stocks that, in their opinion, have above-average growth potential.

The Fund’s assets are invested primarily in equity securities of large market capitalization U.S. companies. These companies generally have market capitalizations similar to the market capitalization of the companies in the Russell 1000® Index at the time of investment. These may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into U.S. common stocks, U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts, and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges. The sub-advisors will maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
