Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Long-term total return.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies with market capitalizations not exceeding the highest market cap in the Russell 2000 Index, selecting stocks the manager believes are undervalued relative to earnings, book value, cash flow, sales, or intangible assets, and may hold up to 25% in foreign securities and positions in REITs. The fund may concentrate in particular sectors and may hold companies experiencing cyclical challenges, temporary setbacks, or financial stress. Because returns depend on the manager's security selection, the fund's performance will diverge from that of any 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.

| +38.32% | +56.07% | +43.04% | 15.22% | -18.20% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 7.89pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.58pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
