Fund Description

The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities, primarily common stocks, of companies the adviser believes have above-average growth potential, including domestic and foreign issuers. It uses fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position, along with market and economic conditions, to select investments. Equity securities may include common stocks (including depositary receipts), preferred and other preferred securities, convertibles, rights and warrants, and other securities with equity-like characteristics. Derivatives providing related exposure are included in the 80% policy.
