Fund Description
The fund pursues long-term capital appreciation in the medium capitalization sector while seeking to provide the risk characteristics of the less volatile large capitalization S&P 500® Index. The fund invests in a select group of medium market capitalization companies believed by the subadviser to be undervalued relative to their future growth
potential. The investment strategy emphasizes companies believed by the subadviser to have a sustainable competitive advantage, strong management and low financial risk and to be able to grow over market cycles. Although the fund invests primarily in U.S. companies, it may invest in foreign securities and depositary receipts.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of medium market capitalization companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the fund’s subadviser considers medium market capitalization companies for this purpose to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations generally within the range of companies included in the Russell Midcap® Index on a rolling three-year basis. On this basis, as of September 30, 2025, the total market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell Midcap® Index over the past three years was $125 million to $311 billion. Generally, the fund invests in approximately 25 to 35 securities at any given time.
