Fund Description

Fund Objective

To seek long-term capital growth.

Investment Approach

The portfolio is designed for investors who can accept equity market volatility in return for potentially higher returns. The portfolio is also designed for investors who plan to maintain their investments, and who do not expect to incur higher education expenses for at least nine years. The portfolio invests primarily in a combination of Waddell & Reed Advisors equity mutual funds that have a long-term growth orientation. It also invests, to a lesser extent, in Waddell & Reed Advisors bond and income-producing mutual funds. Each underlying fund, in turn, invests in a diversified portfolio of securities.
