Investment Objective & Strategy   The investment seeks capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Series' net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be in investments of small-capitalization companies (80% policy). The manager considers small-capitalization companies to be companies with a market capitalization generally less than 3.5 times the dollar-weighted, median market capitalization of the Russell 2000 ® Index at the time of purchase.

Morningstar Category: Small Value Small-value portfolios invest in small U.S. companies with valuations and growth rates below other small-cap peers. Stocks in the bottom 10% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as small cap. Value is defined based on low valuations (low price ratios and high dividend yields) and slow growth (low growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow).

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.
