Investment Style


The Fund's sub-advisors pursue a value style of investing. They select stocks that, in their opinion, have above-average earnings growth potential and are also selling at a discount to the market. To determine a company's growth prospects, each of the Fund's sub-advisors uses proprietary methods based upon a combination of internal and external research and analysis of changing economic trends. The value determination is based on each company's financial profile, including price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book value ratio, assets carried below market value, financial strength, dividend yield and growth expectations.

The Funds' assets are invested primarily in stocks with market capitalizations of $3 billion or less at the time of investment. These may consist ofcommon stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts, and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges.
