The Fund seeks capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in common stocks selected by sub-adviser Wellington Management, which uses fundamental analysis to identify companies with accelerating operating characteristics and long-term growth potential. The fund may hold securities across any market capitalization range but tends toward mid to large cap stocks, and may trade actively. Effective March 1, 2027, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in growth companies, as determined by Wellington Management using metrics such as inclusion in third-party growth indices or measures like earnings per share and revenue growth. The fund may hold up to 10% in foreign issuers and non-dollar securities.

How it has done
HGOAX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 20.01%. 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.
The 9 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.07% | +31.19% | +108.94% | +68.04% | -14.80% | |
| 1.86% | +30.09% | +103.93% | +61.42% | -14.92% | |
| 0.81% | +31.48% | +110.49% | +70.06% | -14.76% | |
| 0.83% | +31.42% | +110.38% | +69.97% | -14.76% | |
| 1.44% | +30.64% | +106.62% | +64.87% | -14.86% | |

| 0.84% | +31.42% | +110.29% | +69.90% | -14.77% | |
| 0.73% | +31.59% | +110.99% | +70.83% | -14.76% | |
| 0.73% | +31.59% | +110.97% | +70.77% | -14.76% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 9.41pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.88pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
