The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of U.S. and foreign "blue chip" multinational companies with total market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion; at least 40% of assets are allocated to companies with significant exposure to non-U.S. economies. Its portfolio emphasizes large-cap blend equities in the Global Large-Stock Growth category, with key sectors including technology (32.42%), financial services (14.21%), and consumer cyclical (12.63%); top holdings as of late 2025 typically feature leading firms such as Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., Alphabet Inc., Apple Inc., and Amazon.com Inc., alongside substantial non-U.S. stock exposure (approximately 28%) across regions like the Eurozone, United Kingdom, and developed Asia.
