About The Blue Chip Growth Fund

The fund's objective is to provide long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective.

Larry J. Puglia has managed this fund since 06/30/1993.

Because growth stocks have higher valuations and lower dividend yields than slower-growth or cyclical companies, the share price volatility may be higher. As such, fund prices could decline further in market downturns than non-growth-oriented funds.
