Fund Description

The fund was incepted in December 1999 and is managed by State Street Research & Management Company. The fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The fund is a sector fund that invests primarily in healthcare stocks of the Russell 3000 Index or in similar companies, including foreign companies. While focused on the healthcare sector, it invests in a variety of different companies within this sector, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices and healthcare services companies. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of companies in health sciences and related industries. The fund's investments may include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and depository receipts. The fund reserves the right to invest up to 20% of its total assets in other securities. These may include stocks of companies not associated with health sciences. The fund typically distributes its net income and net capital gains, if any, around the end of the fund's fiscal year, which is February 28. To comply with tax regulations, the fund may be required to pay an additional income dividend or capital gains distribution in December.
