The adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective using a combination (or hybrid) of three investment styles through value investing, equity income investing and balance investing. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will:
· | Invest 50-80% of the Fund’s net assets in U.S. domiciled equity securities (including exchange traded funds) broadly diversified by company and industry, including above-average dividend-paying equity securities (normally at or above S&P 500’s average dividend yield) or securities with expectations of increasing dividends. |
· | Invest up to 30% of the Fund’s assets in equity and fixed income securities principally traded in foreign markets excluding the U.S. market. |
· | Invest 10-40% of the Fund’s assets in fixed income securities (corporate bonds and notes of domestic and foreign issuers of any maturity and credit quality including below investment grade, commonly known as “junk bonds”) when market and economic conditions are deemed favorable by the Adviser. |
· | Invest without regard to market capitalization. |
· | Engage in an options trading strategy primarily to generate income. Because options may be riskier than other types of investments, the Fund’s use of options is limited to the aggregate premium, which is the total of paid and received premiums, up to no more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets (less the amount by which any such positions are in-the-money). Covered options writing (selling) is not subject to the 15% limitation. |
· | Make short sales of securities in an aggregate amount not greater than 25% of the Fund’s net assets. The value of the securities of any one issuer shorted by the Fund is limited to less than 3% of the securities of any class of the issuer. Short sales “against the box”, where the Fund sells short a security it already owns or owns at least an equal amount of such securities, are not subject to this 25% limitation. |
The Principal Investment Selection Process
When selecting investments for the Fund, the adviser will generally base the decision on one or more valuation metrics, commonly referred to as fundamental analysis, while also taking into consideration the following factors:
· | Quality of the company’s management; |
· | Strength of the company’s balance sheet; |
· | Projected growth rate of the company’s earnings in the future; and |
· | Relevant market, economic and political environments. |
The information on which the fundamental analysis is based comes from sources such as regulatory filings, a company’s annual reports, securities information databases, investment publications, general and business publications, brokerage firm research reports, and other media information sources. The adviser will sell an investment when the adviser believes that the investment is no longer attractive based on its growth potential, price, or both. The adviser may also sell an investment if the Adviser believes that another investment offers a better opportunity for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Temporary Defensive Strategy
Under adverse market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. These investments include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and/or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”); high quality money market instruments such as notes, certificates of deposit or bankers acceptances; and money market funds. When the Fund invests in a money market fund, you will indirectly bear a portion of the fees charged by the other mutual fund, which could have an adverse effect on your investment. It is impossible to predict when or for how long the adviser may employ these strategies for the Fund. While engaged in a temporary defensive position, the Fund will not be invested according to its investment objective and therefore may not achieve its investment objective.
