The Adviser monitors the fundamental performance of the Funds investments for signs of future financial success. The Adviser relies heavily upon the fundamental analysis and research of its dedicated investment team for the Fund in conducting research and making investment decisions. The team initially screens a primary research universe of largely U.S. companies for attractive security valuation and business model characteristics. Once appropriate candidates have been identified for further analysis, the team conducts fundamental research to better understand the companys business model. In evaluating a company for potential inclusion in the Fund, the Adviser takes into account many factors that it believes bear on the companys ability to perform in the future, including attractive free cash flow valuations, high levels of profitability, stable-to-improving balance sheets, and management teams that are good stewards of shareholder capital. The Adviser recognizes that the perception of value is relative and often defined by the future economic performance of the company. As a result of how individual companies are valued in the market, the Fund may be attracted to investments in companies with different market capitalizations ( i.e., large-, mid- or small-capitalization) or companies engaged in particular types of businesses, although the Fund does not intend to concentrate in any particular sectors or industries. At any period in time, the Funds portfolio emphasis upon particular industries or sectors will be a by-product of the stock selection process rather than the result of assigned targets or ranges. The Fund may enter into derivatives transactions, such as options, futures contracts, forwards, and swaps. The Fund may use options strategies involving the purchase and/or writing of various combinations of call and/or put options, including on individual securities and stock indices, futures contracts (including futures contracts on individual securities and stock indices) or shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These transactions may be used, for example, in an effort to earn extra income, to adjust exposure to individual securities or markets, or to protect all or a portion of the Funds portfolio from a decline in value, sometimes within certain ranges.
