Investment Objective & Strategy   The investment seeks long-term capital growth. The Series pursues long-term capital appreciation in the small capitalization market while seeking to incur less risk than the small capitalization growth market. The Series invests in a select group of small-cap companies believed by the subadviser to possess sustainable competitive advantages at prices the subadviser deems attractive. Under normal circumstances, the Series invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of small capitalization companies.

Morningstar Category: Small Growth Small-growth portfolios focus on faster-growing companies whose shares are at the lower end of the market-capitalization range. These portfolios tend to favor companies in up-and-coming industries or young firms in their early growth stages. Because these businesses are fast-growing and often richly valued, their stocks tend to be volatile. Stocks in the bottom 10% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as small cap. Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields).

Investment Risks Small Cap Funds: Smaller companies typically have higher risk of failure, and are not as well established as larger blue-chip companies. Historically, the smaller company stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the overall market average.
