The Large Cap Opportunity Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies with market capitalizations at the time of initial purchase similar to those in the Russell 1000 Value Index (“mid/large cap companies”) that are publicly traded on a U.S. securities market.
The market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Value Index changes constantly, and as a result, the capitalization of mid/large cap companies in which the Large Cap Opportunity Fund will invest will also change. As of September 30, 2006, the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Value Index was from approximately $2 billion to $406 billion.
Supported by an experienced team of investment professionals, the portfolio managers make judgments about the relative attractiveness of various securities in selecting stocks for the Large Cap Opportunity Fund. This Fund typically will be invested in 45 to 55 stocks. Although the Fund is built from the bottom up, stock-specific risks, sector weightings and risk/reward characteristics are all taken into account in the portfolio construction process.
