Description

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of United States companies with market capitalizations that are below $300 million at the time of initial purchase, which the fund's investment adviser refers to as "micro-cap" companies. The micro-cap companies in which the fund may invest include "early stage" micro-cap companies, which are companies that are in a relatively early stage of development with market capitalizations that are below $50 million.
