Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Funds investment objective is long-term capital growth from investments in common stocks or other equity securities.
The fund invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies within the Russell 2000 Index range, selecting stocks based on distinctive products or technologies, dynamic earnings growth, and strong management rather than current income. The remainder may be allocated to companies of any size. The fund may hold Canadian securities without limit and up to 20% in other foreign securities including emerging markets, and may also invest in Rule 144A securities and private equity. Because security selection depends on the manager's assessment of individual company characteristics, fund holdings and performance may diverge materially from the Russell 2000 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.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +31.76% | +43.50% | +17.63% | 14.54% | -18.14% | |
| +31.38% | +42.37% | +16.15% | 14.52% | -18.24% | |
| +31.88% | +43.97% | +18.31% | 14.51% | -18.11% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.16pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.43pp 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.
