The investment seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be invested in the securities of small capitalization companies. Assets means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Growth Index stocks and/or with market capitalizations of less than $4 billion at the time of purchase.
