| Investment Objective: |
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in securities of "transformative technology" companies. Transformative technology companies are companies operating in any sector that the Subadvisor believes to have growth potential tied to transformative technologies. Transformative technologies are innovations that alter the way consumers, businesses or industries operate by using technology to build a competitive advantage. Such companies may be engaged in offering or developing products, processes or services that provide or benefit from technological advances and improvements, or using such products, processes or services in ways that the Subadvisor expects to substantially drive growth. The Fund is "non-diversified," meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers. The Fund invests in securities across the market capitalization spectrum. The Fund principally invests in common stocks, and may also invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). The Fund is permitted to buy equity and equity-related securities of companies of every size. The Subadvisor integrates research regarding environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors. |
