This product represents the core of the fund’s investment strategy, focusing on small cap companies within the United States. These are companies that have market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The aim here is to leverage the growth potential inherent in small cap companies, which often have the capability to provide higher growth rates compared to their larger counterparts. This investment approach takes advantage of the dynamism and innovation found in smaller companies, potentially leading to significant returns.
Up to 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. This portion of the portfolio allows the fund to diversify its investment across geographical boundaries, tapping into the potential of international markets. Investing in non-U.S. issuers can provide exposure to emerging markets and companies that have the potential for rapid growth, broadening the fund's investment horizon and potentially mitigating risk through geographical diversification.
