Investment approach
The investment seeks long-term growth of capital.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in value companies with large market capitalizations. The fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)).

In situations where the net and gross fund expense figures are different, the investment manager has contractually agreed to limit the investment option's expense. Differences may also be shown due to the investment manager choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. The gross fund expense figure does not reflect any waivers or caps on the mutual fund. Performance shown reflects the application of net expenses of the fund.
