Investment objective & strategy

As of March 30, 2022 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks with lower measures of trading liquidity as determined by the advisor.

Strategy. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks with the potential to generate higher returns relative to the broad U.S. equity market by investing in stocks with lower measures of trading liquidity as determined by the advisor. The portfolio will include a diverse mix of companies representing many different market sectors and industry groups. The advisor uses a quantitative model to evaluate all of the securities in an investment universe comprised of U.S. large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks and to construct a U.S. equity portfolio that seeks to achieve exposure to securities with lower measures of trading liquidity subject to a rules-based screen designed to promote diversification and to mitigate exposure to certain less liquid stocks.

Securities with lower measures of trading liquidity may be identified by daily trading volume and the impact such trading has on the security's price. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds assets will be invested in securities issued by U.S. companies.
