The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (Net Assets) in a portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers. Small-cap issuers are companies with relatively small market capitalizations. As of December 31, 2023, small-cap issuers generally have public stock market capitalizations between 100 million Dollar and 16 billion Dollar; however, this capitalization range will change over time and with market conditions. The Fund may also invest in securities outside of the then-existing small-cap issuer capitalization range at the time of investment.
