Investment Objective & Strategy   The investment seeks capital appreciation. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks of growth companies of any size that the adviser believes to be leading producers or beneficiaries of technological innovation. Up to 25% of the fund's assets may be invested in foreign securities. In choosing stocks, the fund looks for technology companies with the potential for strong earnings or revenue growth rates.

Morningstar Category: Technology Technology portfolios buy high-tech businesses in the U.S. or outside of the U.S. Most concentrate on computer, semiconductor, software, networking, and Internet stocks. A few also buy medical-device and biotechnology stocks, and some concentrate on a single technology industry.

Investment Risks Sector Funds: Funds that invest exclusively in one sector or industry involve risks due to the lack of industry diversification and expose the investor to increased industry-specific risks.
