Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies are defined as companies that have market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap Index on the last business day of the month in which its most recent reconstitution was completed. Reconstitution of the index currently is completed in June of each year. On June 30, 2017, the range of the index was $1.8 million to $47.2 billion. In selecting stocks, the Funds sub-adviser invests in companies that it believes exhibit the potential for superior growth based on factors such as above-average growth in revenue and earnings, strong competitive position, strong management, and sound financial condition.
The Funds sub-adviser will generally sell a stock if the stock hits its price target, the companys fundamentals or competitive position significantly deteriorate, or if a better alternative exists in the marketplace. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets, collectively, in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers and in dollar-denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers that are either listed on a U.S. stock exchange or represented by depositary receipts that may or may not be sponsored by a domestic bank. Up to 15% of the Funds total assets may be invested in equity securities of emerging market issuers. The Fund may utilize options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (derivatives).
The Fund may use these derivatives to manage market or business risk, enhance the Funds return, or hedge against adverse movements in currency exchange rates.
