Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The Growth Portfolio (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of large capitalization companies.
The fund invests in large-capitalization growth stocks selected through bottom-up analysis for sustainable competitive advantages, above-average business visibility, high capital deployment returns, and strong balance sheets, with ESG factors integrated as a research lens. The adviser concentrates a significant portion of assets in a limited number of issuers, which may be in the same industry or sector, creating risk of divergence from broader market performance. The fund may invest up to 25% in foreign securities including emerging markets.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.19pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.04pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
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.
