Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S.-traded equity securities of small-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). As of the date of this prospectus, the fund’s subadviser considers small-capitalization companies for this purpose to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations generally within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index on a
rolling three-year basis. On this basis, as of December 31, 2021, the total market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index over the past three years was $2.68 million to $24.95 billion. As a result of its investment strategy, the fund may focus its investments in one or more sectors.
In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the subadviser chooses companies that it believes have above-average growth potential to beat expectations as a result of strong business fundamentals, such as revenue growth, improving cash flows, increasing margins and positive earning trends. The subadviser uses a “bottom-up” process based on company fundamentals. Risk controls are in place to assist in maintaining a portfolio that is diversified by sector and minimizes unintended risks relative to the primary benchmark. It then performs in-depth fundamental analysis to determine the quality and sustainability of expectations to determine whether or not the company is poised to beat expectations. The subadviser also applies proprietary quantitative models to rank stocks based on improving fundamentals, valuation, capital deployment and efficiency, and sentiment or behavior factors.
