Investment objective & strategy

As of March 26, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The investment objective of the Smead Value Fund (the Fund) is long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund intends to maintain approximately 25-30 companies in its portfolio and will invest primarily in the common stocks of large capitalization (large-cap) U.S. companies. The Fund considers large-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund may also invest in mid-cap and small-cap companies. The Fund considers mid-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations between $3 billion and $5 billion at the time of purchase, and small-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $3 billion at the time of purchase. In addition to common stocks, the Fund may also invest … To achieve its investment objective, the Fund intends to maintain approximately 25-30 companies in its portfolio and will invest primarily in the common stocks of large capitalization (large-cap) U.S. companies. The Fund considers large-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund may also invest in mid-cap and small-cap companies. The Fund considers mid-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations between $3 billion and $5 billion at the time of purchase, and small-cap companies to be those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $3 billion at the time of purchase. In addition to common stocks, the Fund may also invest in convertible securities, consisting primarily of warrants that are convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. A warrant gives the holder the right to purchase at any time during a specified period a predetermined number of shares of common stock at a fixed price. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a few sectors, including consumer discretionary (goods and services considered non-essential by consumers), energy (services related to the production and supply of energy), financials (financial services provided to retail and commercial customers), health care (medical services, goods and equipment), real estate (services related to real estate development and operation) and telecommunication services (telecom services, goods and equipment). The Adviser selects the Funds investments by screening U.S. companies, regardless of capitalization, using the following eight criteria: Required over entire holding period: products or services that meet a clear economic need; strong competitive advantage (barriers to entry); long history of profitability and strong metrics; generates high levels of cash flow; available at a low price in relation to intrinsic value (the perception of value based on all factors of business, tangible and intangible); Favored, but not required: managements history of shareholder friendliness (dividends, buybacks, earnings quality, reporting transparency, executive compensation and acquisition history); strong balance sheet; and strong management (directors and officers) ownership (preferably with recent purchases). The Funds portfolio is built around high quality companies whose businesses have strong competitive advantages that the Adviser believes can be sustained for the long term. When a security is purchased, the Adviser frequently monitors the security for large price declines in an effort to protect from single stock risk on new investments. The Fund aims to be a low-turnover fund, and the expected holding period of a newly purchased security is a minimum of three to five years. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified mutual fund. This means that the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers.
