Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.29%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class A shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.50%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class F shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.67%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class F3 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.58%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class I shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 33.97%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class P shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 33.75%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R2 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 33.89%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R3 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.25%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R4 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.58%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R5 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 34.67%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R6 shares, with all distributions reinvested, compared to the 28.42% return of a securities market index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.56% over the same period.

Markets navigated a resilient economic backdrop amid geopolitical and inflation uncertainty. Healthy consumer spending, labor markets, and corporate earnings supported the outlook, while artificial intelligence ("AI") disruption concerns and U.S.-Iran tensions drove volatility and higher energy prices. A June ceasefire stabilized oil markets, though geopolitical tensions continued to influence Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh became Fed Chair, and the Fed held rates unchanged in July amid resilient economic data.

Top contributors to performance: Security selection within the Industrials sector contributed to relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Comfort Systems USA, a provider of commercial heating, cooling, and electrical services. Security selection within the Information Technology sector also contributed to relative performance, driven by an allocation to Astera Labs, a semiconductor technology company.

Top detractors from performance: Security selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative performance over the period, driven by an allocation to Planet Fitness, a fitness center operator and franchisor. Security selection within the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance, driven by an allocation to Celsius Holdings, an energy drink company.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is no guarantee of future results.
