What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in large-cap equities that the adviser believes are attractively valued and positioned to appreciate faster than the broader market, with a portfolio weighted average market capitalization similar to the S&P 500 Index. The adviser targets companies it views as industry leaders with sustainable competitive advantages and management teams focused on shareholder value through capital appreciation, dividends, or buybacks. Up to 20% of assets may be allocated to foreign issuers when the adviser identifies more attractive opportunities. Because returns depend on the adviser's security selection decisions, the fund's performance may diverge from the S&P 500 Index.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 14.17%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 and Jul 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.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.05pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.21pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
