Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The Fund seeks capital growth and current income.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities of large-capitalization U.S. companies, defined by the market-capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Value Index, using a value style that seeks undervalued companies with prospects for improved valuations. Day-to-day portfolio management is delegated to two sub-advisers—Putnam Investment Management and T. Rowe Price Associates—each managing approximately 50% of assets, while Empower Capital Management serves as adviser and monitors their performance. The fund may also invest in midsize U.S. companies and non-U.S. equities, and may use derivatives including forward foreign currency contracts.

Revenue growth
5%of stock holdings in top-quartile growers
covering 94% of the fund’s equity
Earnings growth

covering 89% of the fund’s equity

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.

Return profile

Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026

Share class1-year3-year5-yearVolWorst fall

+27.14%+60.25%+65.38%9.77%-8.33%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.42pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.48pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Cumulative return· Jul 2023 – Apr 2026

May 2026 and Jun 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.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.

Interest-rate duration

approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
0.00 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

Interest rates87%
Credit spreads13%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

Rate exposure by currency

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 0.00 yr.

USD+0.00 yr
EUR+0.00 yr
GBP+0.00 yr

This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
