The Fund may also invest in privately held companies and companies that only recently began to trade publicly. The Funds fundamental equity growth investment process involves evaluating potential investments based on specific characteristics believed to indicate a high-quality business with sustainable growth, including strong business franchises, favorable long-term prospects, and excellent management. The Investment Adviser will also consider valuation of companies when determining whether to buy and/or sell securities. The Investment Adviser may integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors alongside traditional fundamental factors as part of its fundamental research process. 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 when a companys fundamental outlook deteriorates, because of valuation and price considerations, for risk management purposes, or when a company is deemed to be misallocating capital or a company no longer fits within the Funds definition of a mid-cap company. In addition, the Investment Adviser may sell a position in order to meet shareholder redemptions. The Investment Adviser measures the Funds performance against the Russell Midcap Growth Index.
