Fund Description

The adviser normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities of issuers with medium market capitalizations. Equity securities include common stocks, equity interests in real estate investment trusts (REITs), and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer. The adviser may invest the fund's assets in foreign securities.
