Long-term growth of capital and future income rather than current income.

The GE Investments Premier Growth Equity Fund invests at least 80% of their net assets in equity securities under normal market conditions. The Fund invests primarily in a limited number of large- and medium-sized companies that the portfolio manager believes have above-average growth histories and/or growth potential. In recent periods, the Fund has tended to emphasize larger companies. The portfolio manager selects equity securities from a number of industries based on the merits of individual companies. Stock selection is key to the performance of the Fund.

The portfolio manager seeks to identify securities of companies with characteristics such as:

Above-average annual growth rates
Financial strength
Leadership in their respective industries
High quality management focused on generating shareholder value

The Fund also may invest to a lesser extent in foreign securities and debt securities. The portfolio manager may use various investment techniques to adjust the Fund's investment exposure, but there is no guarantee that these techniques will work.

The Fund's 80% investment policy may be changed by the Trustees on 60 days' notice to shareholders.

We believe in companies that can grow earnings at a double-digit rate for the foreseeable future � a rate 50�100% greater than the overall market.

The team employs a fundamental, bottom-up, research-driven investment approach, resulting in a process that is both disciplined and repeatable. Starting with a universe of approximately 300 names, the Growth team monitors and researches each company on a regular basis, assessing several earnings and valuation metrics with the objective to identify those with the highest quality and potential for growth at a reasonable price. The team has a long-term investment horizon and tends to hold a stock until either its growth prospects diminish or it has become overvalued. The final 30-40 names held in the strategy are those that represent our greatest expectations for growth at a reasonable price. Sector allocation is a fallout of the stock selection process, but is monitored as part of the portfolio risk control process.

¹The investment process is fluid and may change from time to time without prior public notice as market conditions and portfolio managers change.

The Fund is managed by David Carlson.
