OBJECTIVE  |  The Small Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES  |  We invest principally in equity securities of small-capitalization companies that we believe have above-average growth potential. We define small-capitalization companies as those with market capitalizations at the time of purchase of less than $2 billion.

We focus our investment strategy on identifying and investing in rapidly growing small capitalization companies that are in an early or transitional stage of their development, before their potential is discovered by the market. We build the Fund's portfolio by selecting companies that we consider to have successful business plans. We seek high growth, favorably valued securities and have a bias for growth companies with reasonable valuation. We maintain a disciplined approach to monitoring the valuation characteristics of the portfolio. We use a variety of criteria specific to a portfolio security to determine when we may potentially sell such security to avoid reacting to pressure caused by volatility in the broad small cap market. Such criteria may include a security reaching our target price (potentially as a result of an expansion of the price-earnings multiple or a change in our earnings estimate), the availability of a more favorable investment opportunity, or a drop in the price of a security below cost (after adjustment for major market declines).

RISKS  |  Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Smaller company stocks tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Active trading results in increased turnover and trading expenses and may generate higher short-term capital gains. Consult the Fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
