Investment Objective The investment seeks long-term growth of capital. The fund primarily invests in common stocks of smaller size companies that have a new product or service, are in a position to benefit from some change in the economy, industry transformation, new law, new regulation or new technology, or are experiencing some other "special situation" that makes them undervalued relative to their long-term potential. It may also invest in stocks of mid-size or large companies. The fund may emphasize certain industry sectors based on economic and market conditions.
