Winslow Capital Management was founded in 1992 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and specializes
in managing large cap growth stock portfolios for institutions and high net worth
investors. With Nuveen Investments' acquisition of Winslow in 2008, together we
provide our investors with extensive investment expertise in growth equities. Winslow
Capital's portfolios focus solely on large cap growth stocks. These stocks include
companies that demonstrate long-term sustainable earnings growth, quality companies
with cyclical growth in the right part of the cycle, and companies in newer industries
with rapid growth potential. The same portfolio management team has been together
and has used the same consistent investment process since April 1, 1999.
All investments carry risk, including the possible loss of principal and there is
no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period
of time. Growth style investing may fall out of favor and underperform other equity
investments during given periods. Certain sectors or growth stocks may shift characteristics
over a long market cycle and may not perform in line with stated benchmarks.
