The Fund defines small cap companies as companies with a total market capitalization of less than $7 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund defines equity securities to include common and preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Adviser seeks to invest in companies with a proven history of consistent growth, sustainable earnings momentum and the ability to produce a reliable stream of cash flow during all economic cycles. The Adviser uses a bottom-up internal stock screening process designed to identify companies that produce reliable cash flow streams and are priced at a level that provides for growth opportunity. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Adviser considers a companys debt-to-capital ratio and 3-year average EBITDA margin. The Adviser also considers public analysts earnings estimates, seeking to invest in companies with high, positive percentage changes in earnings estimates. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that are the most undervalued based on these fundamental factors. The Fund maintains a portfolio of approximately 100 companies, each with a maximum weighting of 1.5% at the time of purchase. When evaluating a security for sale, the Adviser considers the same factors it uses in evaluating a security for purchase and generally sells a security when the Adviser believes the security has become overvalued or when the Adviser believes such securities no longer meet its investment criteria. As of July 1, 2024, the Fund had significant exposure to companies in the consumer, financials, and industrials sectors.
