Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Funds investment objectives are long-term capital appreciation and current income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small market capitalization U.S. companies with value characteristics, defined as those trading below average price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-cash-flow, or price-to-sales ratios relative to the Russell 2000 Index. Day-to-day investment decisions are delegated to multiple sub-advisers; most employ fundamental analysis to identify undervalued companies with sustainable cash flows, while one sub-adviser uses a quantitative approach focusing on valuation metrics and price momentum. Because performance depends on the sub-advisers' security selections, the fund may diverge from the Russell 2000 Index.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.
