Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The fund seeks growth of capital.
The fund invests at least 80% of assets in common stocks of science and technology companies selected through bottom-up research for above-average growth potential, competitive positioning, and attractive valuations, combined with top-down analysis of technology sector trends. The fund concentrates its holdings in the technology sector and may concentrate further in individual technology industries, and it may invest up to 35% in foreign securities and up to 20% in debt securities. Because the fund concentrates assets in technology industries, its returns will depend on the performance of that sector.

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.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 11.07pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 2.21pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
