This investment strategy is predicated on the belief that small cap companies, as defined within the range of market capitalizations represented in the Russell 2000® Growth Index, offer substantial growth potential. The fund's commitment to maintaining at least 80% of its assets in this sector is reflective of its confidence in the ability of these enterprises to generate significant returns over time.
