This fund focuses on investing primarily in common stocks of medium-sized U.S. listed companies, adhering to a strategy that mandates at least 80% of its assets be allocated to such investments under normal market conditions. It defines medium capitalization companies based on the market cap range found within the Russell Midcap® Index at the time of purchase, which varies with market conditions. The fund's investment philosophy is rooted in targeting companies within this specific size range to potentially capitalize on the unique growth opportunities and risk profiles associated with mid-cap companies.
The fund commits at least 80% of its assets to equities of medium capitalization companies in the U.S., selecting firms whose market capitalization aligns with those found in the Russell Midcap® Index.
