Investment Goal and
Approach
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks of a relatively small number of large capitalization companies
representing attractive sectors of the U.S. economy.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of a relatively small number of large capitalization companies (stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index).
The Fund will typically hold stocks of 20-40 companies. The Fund uses bottom-up security selection based on proprietary fundamental research and valuation analysis.

Footnotes
The investment return and principal
value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.
Because the Fund will hold a smaller number of
stocks and may hold larger positions in such stocks, compared to most
funds it may have greater market fluctuations and price volatility than a
fund that maintains a more broadly diversified portfolio.
A
percentage of the Fund may be invested in securities of non-U.S. companies
and/or non-dollar securities. Investing in foreign securities may involve
different and additional risks associated with foreign currencies,
investment disclosure, accounting, securities regulation, commissions,
taxes, political or social instability, war or expropriation.
