FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks long-term capital growth. The fund normally invests at least 80% of net assets in U.S. service and service-related companies and may invest up to 20% of net assets in foreign securities. It may from time to time focus more on any one of these sectors over the others and may invest in securities of companies in other service sectors.
