Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies. The Portfolio considers a company or issuer to be a “U.S. company” if: (i) the company/issuer is organized under the laws of or is domiciled in the U.S. or maintains its principal place of business in the U.S.; (ii) the security, or security of such company/issuer, is traded principally in the U.S.; or (iii) during the most recent fiscal year of the company/issuer, the company/issuer derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or

services performed in the U.S. or that has at least 50% of its assets in the U.S. Equity security investments primarily include common stocks.

The Investment Manager, through its bottom-up, fundamental research process, invests in companies that it believes have strong and/or improving financial productivity and are undervalued based on their earnings, cash flow or asset values. The Portfolio typically invests in 20 to 30 companies with market capitalizations generally over $5 billion. Although the Portfolio generally focuses on large cap companies, the market capitalizations of issuers in which the Portfolio invests may vary with market conditions and the Portfolio also may invest in mid cap and small cap companies.

The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. companies.

The Portfolio is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which means that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, when compared to a diversified fund.
