The Fund may also invest in companies with various market capitalizations and securities denominated in a non-U.S. currency.The Fund combines both a top-down theme identification process and bottom-up stock selection process to identify investments. The Fund’s process begins with the identification of themes in line with the Fund’s goal of providing exposure to emerging opportunities across areas of innovation. Securities are selected based on an assessment of their investment merit and exposure to selected themes. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in the information technology sector, and therefore, may be concentrated in one or more industries within the information technology sector.The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
