Overview
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by owning the common stock of primarily domestic mid-cap companies that the managers believe have above-average growth prospects. The managers rely on in-depth fundamental analysis to identify those companies they believe have the potential to compound earnings over time. Additionally, the managers define mid-cap at the time of initial investment based on the range of securities in the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-U.S. securities, typically through sponsored American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
