The Fund invests in firms that have the potential for above average long-term
growth. We look for companies that offer innovative products or services,
have a unique strength in specific areas such as research, product development
or marketing and have strong management teams and financial resources. The
firms can be either larger, established firms taking their existing products
or services in a new direction, or smaller, emerging growth companies who
are developing new products or services. The Fund looks for these growth
opportunities in every industry. The companies in which the Fund invests
may be in the developmental stage or may be older companies undergoing significant
changes. As a result, they may be subject to greater business risks and
more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than larger, more established
companies.
