Description

The investment seeks capital appreciation. The fund invests for the long term primarily in equity securities in the form of common stock of non-U.S. growth companies and seeks to diversify its investments among several developed countries and developing countries throughout the world, although the fund's total exposure to developing countries will not exceed 30%. It may purchase securities of companies of any size, but expects to focus on small- and mid-sized growth companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or less at the time of purchase.
