Investments are primarily directed towards large and medium-sized U.S. companies. The selection criteria are based on the assessment by the fund's Sub-Advisers of the companies' above-average potential for growth in revenue and earnings. This approach is aimed at achieving high returns for the fund's investors through capital appreciation.

• Non-Diversified Fund Strategy
