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.

How it has done
KTCIX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 24.98%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.68% | +52.88% | +153.87% | +142.94% | -14.24% | |
| 0.88% | +52.55% | +152.27% | +140.45% | -14.28% | |
| 1.75% | +51.17% | +145.79% | +130.12% | -14.35% | |
| 0.68% | +52.87% | +153.74% | +142.78% | -14.26% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 12.82pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 2.56pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
