Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Growth Index stocks and/or with market capitalizations of less than $4 billion at the time of purchase. As of the last reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Growth Index on June 27, 2014, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $143 million to $4.5 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks. Typically, the Fund invests in securities of companies with a history of above-average growth, as well as companies expected to have above-average growth.Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions, predictable and durable business models and management that can achieve sustained growth.The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
