Strategy. The Fund invests in a broad and diverse group of small-cap stocks that the Adviser determines to be value stocks. Value stocks are those the Adviser determines are priced cheaply relative to some financial measures of worth (value measures), such as the ratio of price to book, price to earnings, price to sales, or price to cash flow. Small-cap securities are selected by relative ranking on value measures to establish a broad and diverse portfolio, as determined by the Advisers statistical, evidence-based approach.

Value stocks are those the Adviser determines are priced cheaply relative to some financial measures of worth (value measures), such as the ratio of price to book, price to earnings, price to sales, or price to cash flow. Small-cap securities are selected by relative ranking on value measures to establish a broad and diverse portfolio, as determined by the Advisers statistical, evidence-based approach. The Advisers statistical, evidence-based approach is derived from research and academic theory using market and financial data from multiple decades to identify the types of securities and portfolio construction rules that the Adviser expects to generate higher returns relative to the overall US equity market over the long-term. The Adviser uses a market capitalization approach to weight the securities in the Funds portfolio subject to risk constraints. This means that a securitys weight in the Funds portfolio at the time of purchase is roughly proportional to its market capitalization relative to the other securities in the portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity or equity-related securities (common stocks) of small-cap companies at the time of purchase. For purposes of the Funds investments, the Adviser considers small-cap stocks to be those of companies that have a market capitalization generally in the lowest 10% of total market capitalization or smaller than the 1,000th largest US company, whichever results in the higher market capitalization break. As of September 30, 2022, the stocks in this group had a market capitalization of less than $10.8 billion. This dollar amount will change with market conditions. The Fund primarily invests in small-cap stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, and Nasdaq. The Advisers investment process incorporates material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information, when available, as a consideration in the ongoing assessment of potential portfolio securities. The Adviser uses ESG research and/or ratings information provided by third parties in performing this analysis and consider- ing ESG risks. As with any consideration used in assessing portfolio securities, the Adviser may, at times, utilize ESG information to increase the weighting of an issuer with a good ESG record or decrease the weighting of an issuer with a poor ESG record. However, as ESG information is just one investment consideration, ESG considerations are not solely determinative in any investment decision made by the Adviser. The Advisers tax management strategies seek to minimize the distribution of capital gains, within the constraints of the investment objective and small company focus, by offsetting capital gains with capital losses, minimizing short-term capital gains, and reducing the receipt of dividends when possible. The Adviser will not necessarily sell a stock if it migrates to a different market capitalization category after purchase. As a result, due to such migration or other market movements, the Fund may have less than 80% of its assets in small-cap stocks at any point in time. Use of the term omni in the name refers to the fact that the Fund intends to invest in a broad and diverse group of small-cap value stocks that approximately reflect the risk and return of all small-cap value stocks as a whole. Although the Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions and portfolio positioning to reflect a profile of a universe of stocks, the Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors.
