Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible.

Small- and Medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

Fund holdings are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any securities.

While the fund is no-load, management fees and other expenses still apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.

The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general. Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. One cannot invest directly in an index.
