The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 20-40 companies that are considered value opportunities, which the Investment Adviser defines as quality companies with identifiable competitive advantages, and sustainable growth potential, whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any capitalization. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (emerging countries) and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Funds equity investment process involves: (1) using multiple industry-specific valuation metrics to identify economic value and company potential in stocks, screened by valuation, profitability and business characteristics; (2) conducting in-depth company research and assessing overall business quality; and (3) buying those securities that a sector portfolio manager recommends, taking into account feedback from the rest of the portfolio management team. No one factor or consideration is determinative in the stock selection process. The Investment Adviser may decide to sell a position for various reasons, including valuation and price considerations, readjustment of the Investment Advisers outlook based on subsequent events, the Investment Advisers ongoing assessment of the quality and effectiveness of management, if new investment ideas offer the potential for better risk/reward profiles than existing holdings, or for risk management purposes. In addition, the Investment Adviser may sell a position in order to meet shareholder redemptions. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations. The Investment Adviser measures the Funds performance against the Russell 1000 Value Index. THE FUND IS NON-DIVERSIFIED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT), AND MAY INVEST A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF ITS ASSETS IN FEWER ISSUERS THAN DIVERSIFIED MUTUAL FUNDS.
