The fund invests primarily in the common stocks of large companies that are selected for their long-term growth potential. It will normally hold a core position of up to 50 common stocks. In selecting investments for the fund, the investment adviser uses an approach that emphasizes the selection of what the investment adviser believes are stocks of high-quality companies with compelling potential for long-term capital appreciation. The investment approach combines "top-down" macro-economic analysis with "bottom-up" company and security analysis.
