Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities of smaller and mid-sized U.S. companies.

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 by looking at: - quality and sustainability of company financials - each stock’s relative valuation - investor sentiment from a variety of market participants; will then rank each stock in the universe to create a short list of those which are fundamentally strong, attractively valued which have growing investor interest.
