Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities in smaller domestic companies based on a market index.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities in the Russell 2000 Index, buying most but not necessarily all of the stocks in that index to closely match its overall investment characteristics. Because the fund's returns are reduced by transaction costs and fees while the index return is not, the fund's performance will lag its benchmark.

| TRBIX | 0.30% | 0.30% |

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
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +42.36% | +62.89% | +30.86% | 14.65% | -18.85% | |

| +42.19% | +62.33% | +29.98% | 14.65% | -18.80% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.67pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.33pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
