Investment Objectives

The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations located in the United States that are considered to be undervalued compared to their perceived worth.

Investment Strategy

In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the sub-advisor: invests primarily in companies with large capitalizations (the sub-advisor generally considers large market capitalization issuers as issuers with market capitalizations of at least US $5 billion at the time of purchase); may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s assets in non-U.S. foreign securities.
