Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
Investor Profile
For investors seeking long-term growth from global companies positioned to develop innovations or those expected to benefit significantly from new innovations.
Benefits
Provides growth potential through early investments in cutting-edge companies, across a range of sectors and global regions, that are focused on innovation or believed to be positioned to capitalize significantly from developmental and technical advancements.
Risks
All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Large- and mid-cap stocks: Securities issued by large- and mid-cap companies tend to be less volatile than securities issued by small-cap companies. However, large-cap companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful small-cap companies, especially during strong economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges. Foreign investing: Non-U.S. securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity and trading volume than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Emerging markets: Investments in emerging market countries are subject to greater risk and overall volatility than investments in the U.S. and other developed markets. Sector exposure: Issuers in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. Nondiversification: As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of issuers. See the prospectus for more detail on the fund’s principal risks.
