In selecting securities, Sawgrass Asset Management, LLC (Sawgrass), a sub-adviser of the Fund, employs a quantitative and qualitative blended investment process, which begins with a sector specific scoring of a universe of 900 to 1,000 stocks. Sawgrass utilizes a proprietary modeling system that evaluates 26 factors contained in seven groupings, including business valuation, equity valuation, profitability, earnings quality, price volatility, smoothed momentum and sales, earnings and margin stability. Fundamental research is then used to distinguish among the highest scoring candidates, in the opinion of Sawgrass, for portfolio inclusion based on a qualitative assessment of company specific attributes, growth prospects, and risk contribution. Sawgrass generally sells a security for the Fund when, in its opinion, one or more of the following occurs, among other reasons: 1) the quantitative ranking of a security deteriorates, 2) there are significant changes to a securitys fundamental factors, 3) the risk profile of a particular security has changed, or 4) a more attractive security is identified. The Funds anticipated portfolio holdings range between 40-60 companies.
