  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks long-term capital growth; income is a secondary objective.
The fund invests primarily in larger companies. Under normal market conditions, the portfolio managers will invest at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index. In selecting stocks, the portfolio managers look for companies whose stock price may not adequately reflect the company's value. The managers attempt to purchase the stocks of these undervalued companies and hold each stock until the price has increased to, or is higher than, a level the managers believe more accurately reflects the fair value of the company.
  Morningstar Category: Large Value
Large-value portfolios invest primarily in big U.S. companies that are less expensive or growing more slowly than other large-cap stocks. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large 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
There are no additional fund specific investment risks (e.g. liquidity risk, currency risk, foreign investment risk, etc.) associated with this fund beyond the normal risks generally associated with investing in a mutual fund.
