| Investment Objective & Strategy |
|
| The investment seeks above-average capital appreciation over the long term.
|
|
| The fund invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks and other equities of small companies throughout the world (companies with market values similar to the smallest 30% of the aggregate market capitalization of the S&P Developed Broad Market Index). While the fund may invest in securities of any country, portfolio management generally focuses on countries with developed economies (including the U.S.). |

These portfolios are not significantly overweight U.S. equity exposure relative to the Morningstar Global Market Index and maintain at least a 20% absolute U.S. exposure.
