Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund primarily invests in common stocks that offer the potential for capital growth, current income or both. The Fund primarily invests in common stocks of large-size companies. The Fund may also invest in mid- and small-size companies. Some but not all of the companies the Fund invests in may regularly pay dividends. The Fund generally uses a bottom-up approach to selecting investments. This means that the Fund generally identifies potential investments through fundamental research and analysis and, thereafter, focuses on other issues, such as economic trends, interest rates, industry diversification and market capitalization. In deciding whether to buy or sell securities, the Fund considers, among other things, the issuers financial strength, management, earnings growth or potential earnings growth and the issuers valuation relative to its fundamentals and peers.

The Fund may sell a security if it becomes fully valued, is no longer attractively valued, its fundamentals have deteriorated or alternative investments become more attractive.
