Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q2
The funds investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in large-capitalization growth stocks selected through bottom-up fundamental analysis of individual companies, with a focus on those expected to deliver above-average earnings growth rates and duration. The fund may concentrate a significant portion of assets in a single issuer or small number of issuers, and may also invest meaningfully in foreign securities and single sectors. Because performance depends on the adviser's security selection, the fund's returns will diverge from the broader market based on which stocks are chosen.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.

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
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.
This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.
