The fund normally invests at least 80 percent of its assets in the common stocks of large- and mid-cap blue chip growth companies that are listed in the United States (or futures that have similar economic characteristics). Blue chip growth companies are firms that, in the investment advisers view, are well established in their industries and have the potential for above-average earnings growth. The fund focuses on companies with leading market positions, seasoned management, and strong financial fundamentals. The funds investment approach reflects the belief that solid company fundamentals (with emphasis on the potential for above-average growth) combined with a positive industry outlook will result in a higher stock price. Some of the companies the adviser targets for the fund should have good prospects for dividend growth.
