Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to increase the value of your investment over the long term by investing in equities of well-established U.S. companies that may be undervalued by the marketplace.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: examines the financial statistics of each potential investment, looking for: - an attractive price, - consistent earnings, - evidence that the company’s management believes in the future of the company; uses the above information to rank potential investments. The highest-ranked securities are included in the portfolio; diversifies the fund’s assets by industry and company to help reduce risk.
