| The investment seeks capital appreciation.
The fund invests for the long term primarily in equity securities in the form of common stock of non-U.S. growth companies and seeks to diversify among several developed countries and developing countries throughout the world, although the fund's total exposure to developing countries does not exceed 30%. It may invest in securities of companies of any size, but expects to focus on small-sized and mid-sized companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or less at the time of purchase. The fund also invests in securities that the advisor believes have favorable price-to-value characteristics. |
