Investment Suitability:This fund may be suitable to investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value, want to invest in stocks of small to medium-size U.S. companies and would like to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of stocks. Small company stocks are subject to greater risk than large company stocks due to more volatility and less liquidity.
