Investment objective & strategy

As of July 29, 2024 · prospectus

Objective. The Financial Services Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the financial services sector (Financial Services Companies).

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Financial Services Companies that are traded in the United States and in derivatives, which primarily consist of futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Advisor employs a proprietary quantitative and qualitative methodology to identify Financial Services Companies in which to invest. The methodology utilizes screens based on price, liquidity, and tradability. The securities are then weighted using a proprietary modified capitalization weighting methodology. The portfolio may be further adjusted to comply with regulatory investment limitations or as determined appropriate by the Advisor. The Fund may invest to a significant extent in the securities of Financial Services … Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Financial Services Companies that are traded in the United States and in derivatives, which primarily consist of futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Advisor employs a proprietary quantitative and qualitative methodology to identify Financial Services Companies in which to invest. The methodology utilizes screens based on price, liquidity, and tradability. The securities are then weighted using a proprietary modified capitalization weighting methodology. The portfolio may be further adjusted to comply with regulatory investment limitations or as determined appropriate by the Advisor. The Fund may invest to a significant extent in the securities of Financial Services Companies that have small to mid-sized capitalizations. Financial Services Companies include commercial banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, brokerage companies and real-estate investment trusts. Financial Services Companies also may include companies that are significantly involved in multiple sectors, including the financial services sector. The Fund also may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to gain exposure to foreign Financial Services Companies and U.S. government securities. Under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the equity securities of any company that derives more than 15% of its revenues from brokerage or investment management activities. Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures and options, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Funds portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Funds exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Funds portfolio. The value of the Funds portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund has significant exposure to the Financials Sector and Real Estate Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC.
