Investment objective & strategy

As of April 29, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Transportation Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in providing transportation services or companies engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution, or sale of transportation equipment (Transportation Companies).

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Transportation 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 Transportation 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 Transportation Companies that have … Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Transportation 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 Transportation 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 Transportation Companies that have small to mid-sized capitalizations. Transportation Companies may include, for example, companies involved in the movement of freight or people, such as airline, railroad, ship, truck and bus companies; equipment manufacturers; parts suppliers; and companies involved in leasing, maintenance, and transportation-related services. The Fund also may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to gain exposure to foreign Transportation 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 March 31, 2025, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector and Industrials Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC. Also, as of March 31, 2025, the Fund's investments are concentrated ( i.e. , more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Automobiles Industry, a separate industry within the Consumer Discretionary Sector, and Ground Transportation Industry, a separate industry within the Industrials Sector.
