Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund strives to increase the value of your investment over the long-term (long-term growth).
The fund invests in common stocks of U.S. companies across the size spectrum—small, medium, and large—that the manager believes offer superior growth potential in sales and earnings. The fund screens for established companies in diversified industries rather than tracking an index. Because returns depend on the manager's stock selections, the fund's performance may diverge materially from that of any benchmark.

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
One month is blank because the fund did not report it — not because it was flat. A cumulative figure is not shown for this class: compounding across an unreported month would treat it as flat and invent a return.
