The Adviser looks primarily for companies whose stock is trading at prices below what the Adviser believes represent their true value. The Fund invests primarily in securities of large-cap companies, but also invests in securities of mid-cap companies. The Adviser employs both a top-down and bottom-up methodology to construct a diversified portfolio that avoids excessive sector and security concentrations. The Adviser pursues investments that it believes are statistically cheap or intrinsically undervalued given growth prospects, while trying to identify the presence of a catalyst for future growth (e.g., acquisition, new products, economic cycle, or management change). The Adviser may sell a security if it believes the price objective for the stock has been reached, if more attractive opportunities are identified, or if the fundamentals of the company deteriorate. As a result of the Advisers investment process, the Funds investments may be focused in one or more economic sectors from time to time, including the information technology sector. As a result of its investment strategy, the Fund may experience annual portfolio turnover in excess of 100%.
