FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks long-term capital growth. The fund normally invests at least 80% of net assets in American services companies and may invest up to 20% of net assets in foreign securities. It may from time to time focus more on any one of these sectors over the others and may invest in securities of companies in other service sectors. The fund employs a bottom-up stock selection approach to find companies that are the leading companies in each of these sectors. The stocks can be of any size or market capitalization, including securities of emerging or other growth-oriented companies.
