Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. mid cap companies. Mid capitalization companies are companies with market capitalizations (the total market value of a company’s outstanding stock) not exceeding either: 1) the highest market capitalization in the Russell Midcap® Index; or 2) the 12-month average of the highest market capitalization in the Russell Midcap® Index, whichever is greater, at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2025, the highest market capitalization in the Russell Midcap® Index was $101.87 billion and the 12-month average of the highest market capitalization in the Russell Midcap® Index was $161.24 billion.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities (including securities convertible into, or that the investment manager expects to be exchanged for, common or preferred stock) of U.S. companies that the investment manager believes are available at market prices less than their value based on certain recognized or objective criteria (fundamental value). Following this value-oriented strategy, the Fund invests primarily in undervalued securities (securities trading at a discount to fundamental value). The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stock. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities.
The Fund may, from time to time, seek to hedge (protect) against currency risks, using certain derivative instruments including, currency and cross currency forwards and currency futures contracts.
The Fund, from time to time, may have significant positions in particular sectors, such as financial services companies (including banks, insurance companies and diversified financial services), healthcare, industrials, technology, consumer discretionary, utilities and real estate.
Portfolio Selection
The investment manager employs a research driven, fundamental value strategy for the Fund. Investments are generally selected based on the investment manager's own analysis of the security's fundamental value, including for equity securities, an analysis of cash flow potential, long-term earnings, multiples of earnings and book value. The investment manager examines each investment
separately and there are no set criteria as to specific value parameters, earnings or industry type. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) related assessments of companies may also be considered. The investment manager does not assess every investment for ESG factors and, when it does, not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated.
