When evaluating companies, it looks for four key characteristics: strong management, above-average growth, financial strength, attractive valuations. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, which will vary from time to time. Foreign securities are not typically expected to exceed 49% of the net assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.
