As of March 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies listed on the Russell Midcap Value Index ranged from $476.0 million to $85.8 billion and the median was $10.6 billion. Using fundamental, bottom-up research, the Funds portfolio manager utilizes a multi-factored valuation method to identify stocks of mid cap companies that he believes are undervalued at the time of purchase. To identify these companies, the Funds portfolio manager looks for companies with earnings, cash flows and/or assets that he believes are not accurately reflected in the companies market values. The portfolio manager also considers various ratios, including the price-to-earnings or price-to-book value ratios and whether the companies securities have a favorable dividend and/or interest-paying history and whether such payments are expected to continue. The portfolio manager attempts to purchase the stocks of these undervalued companies and hold each stock until it has returned to favor in the market and the price has increased to, or is higher than, a level the portfolio manager believes more accurately reflects the fair value of the company. The Fund seeks to preserve capital in down markets and to diversify its portfolio in traditional, as well as relative, value-oriented investments.
