Investment objective & strategy

As of July 29, 2024 · prospectus

Objective. The Leisure Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in leisure and entertainment businesses (Leisure Companies).

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Leisure 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 Leisure 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 Leisure Companies that have … Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Leisure 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 Leisure 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 Leisure Companies that have small to mid-sized capitalizations. Leisure Companies are engaged in the design, production, or distribution of goods or services in the leisure industries. Leisure Companies include hotels and resorts, restaurants, casinos, radio and television broadcasting and advertising companies, motion picture production companies, entertainment software companies, toys and sporting goods manufacturers, musical recording companies, alcohol and tobacco companies, and publishing companies. The Fund also may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to gain exposure to foreign Leisure Companies and U.S. government securities. 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 Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, and Consumer Staples 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. Also, as of June 30, 2024, the Funds investments are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure Industry, a separate industry within the Consumer Discretionary Sector.
