About EKJYX

Allspring Premier Large Company Growth Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund that focuses on delivering long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-capitalization companies exhibiting robust and sustainable growth characteristics. The fund employs a fundamental research approach, targeting firms where revenue and earnings growth is strong and, in the managers’ view, not yet fully recognized by the broader market. With a diversified portfolio typically spanning 60 to 70 holdings, it concentrates on sectors driving innovation such as technology, healthcare, and consumer services. Notable portfolio allocations include leading names like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta Platforms, reflecting its tilt toward high-growth, market-leading U.S. companies. The strategy is risk-aware, continuously evaluating the sustainability and relative valuation of each holding. The fund may also allocate up to 20% of assets to foreign issuers, expanding its growth opportunity set globally. As part of the large growth category, this fund plays a key role for institutions seeking exposure to established companies with above-average growth potential, aiming to outperform standard growth benchmarks over the long term.
