Investment Strategy

   What's this?
The investment seeks long-term growth of capital. Normally the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks and other equity-type securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible preferred stocks and convertible bonds) of companies with small market capitalizations, including growth-oriented stocks. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest a significant portion of its assets outside the United States, including in emerging markets.

Total Returns



Investment results shown represent historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal values fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so the value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown.

In situations where the net and gross total investment expense figures are different, the mutual fund or the underlying fund in which a Separate Account invests has waived/capped a portion of its management fees through the date displayed in the waiver expiration date or contractual cap expiration date column. Differences may also be shown due to the fund family choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. Returns displayed are based on net total investment expense.

Fees and expenses are only one of several factors that participants and beneficiaries should consider when making investment decisions.  The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of a participant's or beneficiary's retirement account.  Participants and beneficiaries can visit the Employee Benefit Security Administration's website for an example demonstrating the long-term effect of fees and expenses.

The MSCI ACWI SMID Cap Index captures mid and small cap representation across 23 Developed Markets (DM) and 26 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. With 7,337 constituents, the index covers approximately 28% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The index is reviewed quarterly in February, May, August and November with the objective of reflecting change in the underlying equity markets in a timely manner, while limiting undue index turnover. During the May and November semi-annual index reviews, the index is rebalanced, and the mid and small capitalization cutoff points are recalculated.

Small-cap and mid-cap investment options are subject to more fluctuation in value and may have additional risks than other investment options with stocks of larger, more stable companies.

Equity investment options involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed-income investment options. Fixed-income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise.

International and global investment options are subject to additional risk due to fluctuating exchange rates, foreign accounting and financial policies, and other economic and political environments.

For investment options, returns for all time periods, except the Since Inception time frame, may include the historical performance of the oldest share class of the investment, adjusted to reflect a portion of the fees and expenses of this share class. Since Inception returns display the actual return of this share class and do not reflect the adjusted returns of the oldest share class. Please see the fund's prospectus or if CIT, the offering document for more information on specific expenses, and the investment options most recent shareholder report for actual date of first sale. For a CIT, you may need to contact the plan sponsor or plan advisor, if applicable. Expenses are deducted from income earned by the investment option. As a result, dividends and investment results will differ for each share class.
