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.
