Commentary Highlights

March 31, 2026
  • Markets:  Mid cap equities delivered positive returns during the first quarter, with the Russell Midcap Index gaining 1.3% and outperforming both large cap and small cap peers. Large caps, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, declined 4.2% during the period, while the smaller cap Russell 2000 Index posted a more modest gain of 0.9%, as signs of a broadening in market leadership continued to emerge. While mid caps were not immune to the broader market selloff, driven largely by investor concerns surrounding the ramifications of the conflict pitting the U.S. and Israel against Iran, performance was more closely tied to underlying business fundamentals and sector-level dynamics.
  • Contributors:  Holdings in Regal Rexnord, Casey’s General Stores and Clean Harbors. Stock selection in the industrials, consumer staples and financials sectors.
  • Detractors:  Holdings in AppLovin, ICON and Rubrik. Stock selection in the IT, health care and consumer discretionary sectors.
  • Outlook:  We are spending more time challenging long-held assumptions, particularly in areas where technological change could alter competitive dynamics. At the same time, we are mindful that periods of uncertainty often create opportunity, especially for companies with clear strategies, strong execution and the ability to adapt. We also believe that many mid cap companies are better positioned than commonly appreciated to incorporate generative AI into their operations as a potential source of efficiency and long-term value creation. Whether in logistics, industrial manufacturing or health care delivery, the ability to rethink cost structures and productivity could become an important differentiator over time.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. 

See the risks and other important information.

Effective August 2, 2021, Class C shares generally convert to Class A shares after the shares have been held for 8 years. Class C share performance shown has not been adjusted to reflect the conversion. Customers of certain Service Agents may be subject to different terms or conditions as set by their Service Agent, including non-conversion. Please refer to the Prospectus for more information or contact your Service Agent directly.

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Short selling is a speculative strategy. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.

Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers; without these reductions, the results would have been lower.

Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.

  2. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  3. Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.

  4. Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors. 

  5. A 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to shares redeemed within 12 months.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

  7. Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day.  It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.

  8. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.

  9. Capitalization Rate is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses.
