The portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy focus on high quality companies, especially those with products or services that are believed to be leaders in their market niches. The portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy focus on individual stock selection, instead of trying to predict which industries or sectors will perform best.

The portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy may recommend selling a security held in the Growth Strategy if the company's business momentum deteriorates or valuation becomes excessive. The portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy also may recommend selling a security in the Growth Strategy if an event occurs that contradicts their rationale for purchasing it, such as deterioration in the company's financial fundamentals. In addition, the portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy may recommend selling a security if better investment opportunities emerge elsewhere. Portfolio Construction The portfolio manager responsible for portfolio construction collaborates with both the portfolio managers responsible for the Equity Income Strategy and the portfolio managers responsible for the Growth Strategy to construct a high conviction portfolio, while seeking to manage risk. At the security level, the portfolio manager responsible for portfolio construction considers for investment by the fund those securities recommended by the portfolio managers responsible for the Equity Income Strategy and the Growth Strategy.
