Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

Your fund is holding its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 28, 2024 and at the meeting shareholders are going to be asked to vote on a number of important proposals.

 

Growth Fund shareholders, you will be asked to approve a new Portfolio Management Agreement, and to elect two Director nominees. These two proposals are vital to the operation of your fund. So, I am asking that you please take the time now to vote your enclosed proxy card or vote via telephone or the internet.

 

Equity Fund shareholders, you will be asked to elect two Trustee nominees. This proposal is vital to the operation of your fund. So, I am asking that you please take the time now to vote your enclosed proxy card or vote via telephone or the internet.
