Investment objective & strategy
As of July 28, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The investment objective of the Davenport Small Cap Focus Fund (the Small Cap Focus Fund or the Fund) is long-term capital appreciation.
Strategy. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Small Cap Focus Funds net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in common stocks of small capitalization companies and shares of registered investment companies (RICs) that invest primarily in stocks of small capitalization companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest primarily in companies that Davenport & Company LLC (the Adviser) believes have the potential for significant capital appreciation. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that have the potential to achieve above average long-term earnings growth or companies that may be undervalued because they are currently out of favor with the market or misunderstood and underfollowed by the investment community.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest primarily in companies that Davenport & Company LLC (the Adviser) believes have the potential for significant capital appreciation. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that have the potential to achieve above average long-term earnings growth or companies that may be undervalued because they are currently out of favor with the market or misunderstood and underfollowed by the investment community. At times, the Fund may emphasize investment in one or more particular issuers or business sectors that are believed to have favorable prospects. The Adviser uses a bottom-up fundamental research process that focuses primarily on individual companies in the context of broader market factors. In determining whether a company has the potential for capital appreciation, the Adviser will focus on several criteria, including, among other things: ? rate of earnings growth or earnings growth potential ? valuation ? management strength ? balance sheet strength ? free cash flow generation ? effective capital allocations ? returns on invested capital The Adviser defines small capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is between $300 million and $7 billion. The market capitalization of the companies in the Funds portfolio will change over time, and the Fund will not automatically sell a company it already owns, just because the companys market capitalization increases above or decreases below this range. The Fund may invest in special situation companies facing near-term headwinds but with favorable prospects for recovery. Special situations may include significant changes in a companys allocation of its existing capital (companies undergoing turnarounds, spin-offs, mergers, or acquisitions) or a restructuring of assets. Special situations may also result from significant changes to an industry through regulatory developments or shifts in competition, new or improved products, changes in senior management or significant changes in cost structure. The Fund may invest in RICs, including shares of mutual funds and shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to increase the Funds exposure to the broad market or to industry sectors without purchasing a large number of individual securities. ETFs typically hold a portfolio of securities designed to track the performance of a particular index, capitalization, or market sector. ETFs differ from traditional mutual funds since their shares are listed on a securities exchange and can be traded intraday. When the Fund invests in a RIC, Fund shareholders will indirectly pay a proportionate share of the management fee and operating expenses of the RIC, in addition to the Funds direct fees and expenses. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in common stocks of foreign issuers when the Adviser believes they would be advantageous to the Fund and help it achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest in ETFs that invest primarily in common stocks of foreign companies, including regional and/or country specific ETFs. A security will be sold when the Adviser believes it no longer has the potential for strong appreciation, when it meets its targeted price, when the fundamentals of the issuers business or general market conditions have changed, when more attractive opportunities become available, or when strong performance has resulted in an outsized position.
