Fund Description

The Small Cap Fund invests primarily in common stocks of small capitalization U.S. companies that the Adviser believes have the potential for capital appreciation. Small capitalization companies are defined as those with market capitalizations of $2.5 billion or less at the time of purchase. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes in common stocks of small capitalization companies, as defined above. The Fund emphasizes a “value” investment style, investing in companies that appear underpriced according to certain financial measurements of their worth or business prospects. While the Small Cap Fund manages risk by investing in securities across a broad range of industries and market sectors, the Small Cap Fund may at times focus its investments in a particular sector or sectors of the U.S. equity markets.
