Objective. The Argent Small Cap Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. small-capitalization (small-cap) companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small-cap companies. The Fund considers small-cap companies to be those that, at the time of investment, are in the capitalization range of $50 million to the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index. As of March 31, 2022, the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index had a market capitalization of $32.2 billion. The Fund will generally hold 40 to 60 stocks identified by the Funds investment adviser, Argent Capital Management LLC (the Advisor) through an active, bottom-up fundamental investment research … The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. small-capitalization (small-cap) companies.

As of March 31, 2022, the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index had a market capitalization of $32.2 billion. The Fund will generally hold 40 to 60 stocks identified by the Funds investment adviser, Argent Capital Management LLC (the Advisor) through an active, bottom-up fundamental investment research process, which employs quantitative screening to identify incremental changes in fundamentals and qualitative research and analysis, emphasizing valuation and anticipating change to identify overlooked and underappreciated stocks in the small-cap universe. The Fund will invest in companies that, in the Advisors opinion, are undergoing positive fundamental change that is expected to result in superior returns over the long term and exhibit attractive reward opportunities when compared to the risk of investment. The Funds investment strategy is a core approach. The Fund is comprised of core growth stocks, which are companies with earnings and sales growth that are above the average compared to the market and that continue to reinvest in their business to seek further growth. The Fund also holds core value stocks, which are companies trading at significant discounts and are deemed to be undervalued by the market. The Fund incorporates a broad spectrum of investment opportunities in the small capitalization universe. The Advisor will sell an investment when the stock reaches the target value determined by the Advisor, if fundamentals supporting the stocks value deteriorate, or when a better investment opportunity becomes available.
