Equity Investments: Active Quality Solutions for Staying Power

Persistent earnings and profit growth
These characteristics are usually a sign that a company has a differentiated and durable business that can do well through changing macroeconomic cycles.

There is no assurance that a separately managed account will achieve its investment objective. Separately managed accounts are subject to market risk, the market values of securities owned will fluctuate so that your investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing. For copies of our prospectus or summary prospectus, which contain this and other information, contact your financial representative.
