| Investment Objective: |
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of issuers located in the United States. Wellington Management Company LLP, the Fund's sub-adviser, chooses the Fund's investments using fundamental research to identify attractive growth companies relative to a variety of characteristics. Although the Fund may invest in stocks of issuers with any market capitalization, the Fund will generally focus on common stocks of large cap companies. The Fund may trade securities actively. The Fund's portfolio manager selects stocks from an investment universe populated by multiple fundamental equity investment teams at the sub-adviser, Wellington Management, with different investment approaches to growth investing. The Fund's investment universe represents a wide range of investment philosophies, companies, industries and market capitalizations. The Fund's portfolio manager selects a subset of securities from the investable universe for inclusion in the portfolio, seeking to include stocks that the fundamental equity investment teams believe are high conviction or otherwise offer attractive risk-return characteristics. |
