Overview

ABOUT THIS PORTFOLIO

By taking a moderate approach to an asset class with potential for rapid growth, this mid-cap growth fund has demonstrated lower volatility than the index. Unlike many competitor products that focus on short-term growth rates, this strategy seeks to invest in companies exhibiting sustainable and durable growth.

WHY INVEST IN THIS PORTFOLIO

Growth Potential with Tempered Volatility
