Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of micro capitalization (?micro-cap?) companies based in the U.S. (?80% Policy?). The Fund must provide shareholders with 60 days? prior written notice if it changes its 80% Policy. The Fund considers a company to be based in the U.S. if it is publicly traded in the U.S. and it satisfies one or more of the following additional criteria: it is incorporated in the U.S., it is headquartered in the U.S., its reported assets are primarily located in the U.S., or it derives the majority of its revenue from the U.S. The Fund defines … Show more… Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of micro capitalization (?micro-cap?) companies based in the U.S. (?80% Policy?). The Fund must provide shareholders with 60 days? prior written notice if it changes its 80% Policy. The Fund considers a company to be based in the U.S. if it is publicly traded in the U.S. and it satisfies one or more of the following additional criteria: it is incorporated in the U.S., it is headquartered in the U.S., its reported assets are primarily located in the U.S., or it derives the majority of its revenue from the U.S. The Fund defines micro-cap companies as companies whose market capitalizations are generally in the lowest 5% of total market capitalization or companies whose market capitalizations are smaller than or equal to the 1,500th largest U.S. company or smaller than or equal to the largest stock in the Russell Microcap Index, whichever results in the higher market capitalization break. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (?NYSE?), NYSE American LLC, Nasdaq Global Market , Nasdaq Capital Market or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Adviser. Under the Adviser?s market capitalization guidelines described above, based on market capitalization data as of September 30, 2025, the market capitalization of a micro-cap company would be $6.18 billion or below. This dollar amount will change due to market conditions. The size of the companies included in the Russell Microcap Index will change as a result of market conditions and reconstitution of the Index and universe. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by building a diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks in a disciplined process that applies the proprietary research of FullerThaler, the Fund?s investment adviser, on the behavioral biases of other investors. FullerThaler?s investment process is based on decades of research into behavioral finance. Behavioral finance is the study of how investors actually behave, as opposed to how they should behave, when making investment decisions. Professional investors are human, and like all humans, they make mistakes. Investors make mistakes because they have emotions, use imperfect rules of thumb, and have priorities beyond risk and return. FullerThaler?s process identifies and exploits those mistakes. The Adviser?s analysis includes making educated predictions of when other investors the ?market? have likely made a behavioral mistake, and in turn, have created a buying opportunity. There are two kinds of mistakes that produce buying opportunities: over-reaction and under-reaction. Investors may over-react to bad news and losses (e.g., panic) that may present opportunities in typically value-oriented stocks, or they may under-react to good news (e.g., not pay attention) that may present opportunities in typically growth-oriented stocks. At the individual stock level, FullerThaler searches for events related to insider buying, earnings announcements, and other news that suggest these types of investor misbehavior (over-reaction or under-reaction) and draws from its more than 30 years of experience in analyzing events that suggest investor misbehavior. If these behaviors are present, FullerThaler then proceeds to its fundamental analysis of the company. In summary, if an investor mistake is likely and the company has solid fundamentals, the portfolio managers buy the stock. The portfolio managers generally sell when they believe investor misbehavior has reversed or the firm?s fundamentals deteriorate. There is no set length of time that the Fund expects to hold a particular security. While income-generating funds typically invest in stocks with high dividends, funds seeking capital appreciation typically invest in stocks without significant dividends but try to generate returns for investors through price appreciation. Funds can seek price appreciation with low turnoverholding each stock for many years and expecting each stock to go up in price for yearsor with higher turnoverholding each stock for months or quarters, and expecting each stock to go up in price during the months and quarters the stock is held. The Fund typically buys micro-cap stocks with high growth prospects, that often do not pay dividends. And we hold stocks on average less than a year, although we may hold for shorter or much longer periods of timeas long as we believe the price is likely to continue appreciating. Hence, we believe high-turnover (i.e., shorter-term) holding of individual stocks that we expect to appreciate within the Fund is entirely consistent with long-term capital appreciation of the Fund as a whole. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (?REITs?), Business Development Companies (?BDCs?), and Exchange Traded Funds (?ETFs?) whose investment characteristics are consistent with the Fund?s principal investment strategy. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that generally invest in income-producing real estate or real estate-related loans or interests. The Fund will generally invest in liquid REITs that are included in the Russell Microcap Index, the Fund?s benchmark index. A BDC is a form of unregistered closed-end investment company that typically invests in small and mid-sized businesses to help such companies grow in the initial stages of their development. An ETF is a marketable security that typically tracks a stock index or other basket of assets. Although similar in many ways, ETFs differ from mutual funds because ETF shares trade like common stock on an exchange, with a fluctuating price throughout the day as shares are bought and sold. The Fund reserves the right to concentrate in a particular industry or group of industries by investing, consistent with the Fund?s investment policies and objectives, up to 35% of its assets in the equity securities of issuers in such industry or group of industries, if, at the time of investment, that industry or group of industries represents 10% or more of the Russell Microcap Index, the Fund?s benchmark index. While it is not possible to forecast exactly when and how this concentration will occur, it would most likely occur in industries where the strategy has historically had the highest weights or currently see potential opportunities: Specialty Retail; Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components; Health Care Equipment & Supplies; Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment; Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure; Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods; and Software. The Fund also reserves the right to concentrate in particular sectors, and will concentrate its investments in a particular sector by investing greater than 25% of the Fund?s total assets in such sector when its Behavioral Strategy indicates that such concentration would be appropriate from an investment perspective. The Fund does not have a pre-conceived intention to invest in any particular sector. The Fund expects to hold individual position sizes typically ranging up to 7% of the Fund?s net assets. The Fund is typically expected to have a portfolio turnover rate of approximately 100% or more. The Fund may also lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Fund?s Board. Loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized by liquid securities and cash. The Fund may invest cash collateral received in securities consistent with its principal investment strategy.
