Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in the United States and other countries, that are engaged in the research, development, production, or distribution of products or services related to health care, medicine, or the life sciences.

The sub-adviser divides the health sciences sector into four main areas: pharmaceuticals, health care services, products and devices, and biotechnology firms.
