Description

This fund provides broad, low-cost exposure to the large-capitalization market by investing in the U.S. stocks that represent the top 85% of market capitalization. In addition to general stock market volatility, the fund’s primary risk comes from the fact that its strategy of investing only in stocks of large U.S. companies may restrain its returns when other market segments outperform. Long-term investors seeking exposure to the largest U.S. stocks may wish to consider this fund.With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may not: (1) purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or (2) purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in that issuer’s securities; except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index. This limitation does not apply to obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
