Dividend Growth Fund
Invests at least 65% of its total assets in the common stocks of dividend-paying companies that we expect to increase their dividends over time and also provide long-term appreciation.
Dividend-paying stocks may lag shares of smaller, faster-growing companies. Also, stocks that appear temporarily out of favor may remain out of favor for a long time.

Share price, principal value, and return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Average annual total return figures include changes in principal value, reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions.
The gross expense ratio reflects the fund expenses as stated in the fee table of the fund's prospectus prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. The net expense ratio reflects fund expenses after the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. If a fund has an active contractual expense limitation, the expiration date is shown below the gross and net expense ratio values above. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus.
