Intirety
Valuation is the analytical process of determining the current (or projected) worth of a company. Earnings estimates are an analyst’s estimate for a company’s future quarterly or annual earnings per share. EPS Growth (earnings per share growth) is used to determine the rate at which a company is growing its profitability. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is an alternate measure of profitability to net income. Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when shares of a private company are made public for the first time. Market capitalization is the value of a company calculated by multiplying the total number of shares by the present share price. S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization weighted index that measures the 500 leading publicly traded companies in the U.S.

Investment Considerations
The Fund invests in small-cap securities which present a greater risk of loss than large-cap securities, and in growth companies which can be more sensitive to the company’s earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which are subject to risks including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards. The Fund may invest in derivatives and initial public offerings (IPOs), which are highly volatile. The Fund may invest in emerging and frontier markets. The risks include potential for price volatility and illiquidity; government ownership or control of parts of the private sector and certain companies; trade barriers; exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values (foreign currency risk) and other protectionist measures; and relatively new and unsettled securities laws. Additional risk information may be found in the prospectus.
