This fund provides long-term capital appreciation potential by focusing on established growth companies with proven performance records. These companies are typically financially sound and represent a wide variety of industries. To enhance return potential, the fund also has the ability to invest in foreign companies.
Because of the higher valuations/lower dividend yields of growth stocks, fund prices could decline further in down markets than non-growth-focused funds. Any foreign holdings would be subject to risks inherent in non-U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations.
