Objective
Seeks long-term growth of capital.
Strategy
Invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. small-cap companies, defined as those in the Russell 2000 Index. Uses a proprietary quantitative model to select stocks based on value, quality, and momentum characteristics. The model weights these factors equally but favors more liquid and less volatile securities. Holdings are rebalanced at least annually, with adjustments made at PGI's discretion based on diverse insights and trends impacting the Fund.
