After implementing a new push on the sales and marketing front earlier this year, Pioneer Investments is now taking steps to bolster its product line-up.

The Boston-based unit of UniCredito Italiano registered four new funds with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the past two days. The firm currently offers 37 mutual funds to investors.

Strikingly, the quartet of new funds is not following the flavor of the day formula pursued by other firms. Rather, the funds expand Pioneer's capabilities in the growth stock arena and exploit its existing investment staff of its domestic equity team.

Pioneer Funds Distributor is the distributor and Pioneer Investment Management Shareholder Services is the new funds' transfer agent.

The four new funds are:

Pioneer Aggressive Growth Fund. The management team is headed by Robert C. Junkin (lead manager), Thomas A. Crowley and Eric J. Weigel (co-managers).

Pioneer Small Cap Growth Fund. The portfolio management team is headed by Eric J. Weigel (lead manager), Thomas A. Crowley and Robert C. Junkin (co-managers).

Pioneer Emerging Growth Fund. The portfolio management team is headed by Thomas A. Crowley (lead manager), Robert C. Junkin and Eric J. Weigel (co-managers).

Pioneer Large Cap Growth Fund. The portfolio management team is headed by Eric J. Weigel (lead manager), Thomas A. Crowley and Robert C. Junkin (co-managers).
