Fund Description
The Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest its assets primarily in common stocks located in the United States and abroad that the subadviser believes have superior sales and earnings growth potential, but at a reasonable price. It is expected that, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in established companies in the technology and science sectors, including in the semiconductor, semiconductor equipment, hardware, software, information technology services, communications equipment, social media, biotechnology, healthcare, financial technology, and interactive media sectors, and may invest in other sectors if determined by the Fund’s subadviser to be in the Fund’s best interests. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its net assets in U.S. dollar denominated stocks of foreign companies located in both developed and emerging markets.Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques, the Fund’s subadviser seeks to identify those securities it believes offer superior sales and earnings growth prospects at a reasonable valuation. The subadviser seeks to add value to the Fund’s portfolio through stock selection. In addition to evaluating traditional risk measures, the subadviser assesses the risk profiles of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors on companies in which the Fund may invest. The subadviser's assessment is based on a proprietary scoring matrix to rate each company in the investable universe based on its potential exposure to ESG risk factors. Companies that the subadviser perceives as having high levels of ESG risk and/or significant negative externalities associated with their products or services may be excluded from investment consideration. The subadviser may also consider market indices and its own estimates of competitor portfolio weightings in managing the Fund’s portfolio.The Fund may also invest opportunistically in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and in securities of new public companies that have had their IPO within the last six months and that the subadviser finds attractive. The subadviser seeks investment opportunities to penetrate new and existing markets specifically within the technology, biotechnology and other growth industries. In looking at particular companies, the subadviser evaluates the scope of business of a company and its competitive landscape, as well as its management team’s experience.
