Description

This actively managed fund purchases mid- and small-capitalization stocks that the advisor believes have above-average growth potential. The advisor relies on a computer-driven stock selection process in an attempt to build a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to those of the fund’s comparative index, while seeking to provide better returns. Because it focuses on medium-sized and smaller companies, the fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of the broad U.S. stock market. This fund may be considered complementary to a long-term portfolio with large-cap exposure.
