ManagerJohn Reinsberg
Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies. The Investment Manager considers “small capitalization companies” to be those companies with market capitalizations, at the time of initial purchase by the Portfolio, within the range of companies included in the MSCI World Small Cap Index (based on market capitalization of the Index as a whole, which ranged from approximately $10 million
to $937 billion as of March 31, 2026). Equity security investments primarily include common stocks and also may include American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts.
The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities, principally common stocks, of relatively small capitalization companies that the Investment Manager believes have strong and/or improving financial productivity at attractive valuations.
