Description

Under typical market conditions, this fund commits a minimum of 80% of its total assets to common stocks issued by companies with smaller market capitalizations. Its primary aim is to generate significant long-term capital appreciation within the small-cap sector, while simultaneously endeavoring to manage risk more conservatively than the overall small-cap value market. The fund's subadviser meticulously chooses a concentrated portfolio of small-cap enterprises, which are believed to be undervalued when compared to their projected future growth prospects.
