Fund Description
divspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"equity securities of small-cap companies (the “80% Policy”). The portfolio managers consider small-cap companies to be companies /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"having a market capitalization that falls (i) within or below the range of companies in the current Russell 2000® Index (the “Index”), or /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"(ii) below the three-year average maximum market cap of companies in the Index as of December 31 of the three preceding years. /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"The market capitalization range for the Index was approximately $1.0 million to $31.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. The average /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"maximum market capitalization of companies in the Index as of the three year period ending December 31, 2025 was approximately /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"$25.2 billion. Market capitalizations of companies within the Index are subject to change. With respect to 20% of its net assets, the /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"Fund may also invest in companies that are larger than the capitalization ranges stated above. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"its total assets in foreign securities, some of which may be issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries. As an /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"alternative to holding foreign stocks directly, the Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies that trade /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"on U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (including depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"which are either sponsored or unsponsored, and Global Depositary Receipts, that evidence ownership in underlying foreign stocks). /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), a type of pooled investment vehicle, in order to manage cash positions or /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"seek exposure to certain markets or market sectors. The Fund may also invest in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)./span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"Investment decisions for the Fund are made primarily on the basis of fundamental research. The portfolio managers utilize information /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"provided by, and the expertise of, the investment adviser’s research staff in making investment decisions. The portfolio managers look /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"for companies that, in their opinion, are high in quality or improving in quality. The portfolio managers take a long-term perspective /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"when selecting companies and the quality focus typically leads them to companies benefitting from structural growth or structural /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"change. Sought after company characteristics may include: a business model with identifiable competitive advantage(s)/barrier(s) to /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"entry, a scalable market opportunity, a solid balance sheet, and a strong management team with a history of good capital allocation. /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"The portfolio managers believe such companies typically exhibit high or improving returns on capital, strong free-cash-flow /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"generation, and positive or inflecting earnings. The portfolio managers also employ a disciplined valuation framework in pursuit of /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"attractive risk adjusted returns. The portfolio managers seek to manage investment risk by maintaining broad issuer and industry /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"diversification among the Fund’s holdings, and by utilizing fundamental analysis of risk/return characteristics in securities selection. /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"Securities may be sold if, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, the price moves above a fair level of valuation, the company’s /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;"fundamentals deteriorate, or to pursue more attractive investment opportunities./span/div
