Fund Description
The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small- and mid-capitalization companies, principally common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that are traded on major U.S. exchanges. Although the Fund principally invests in U.S. companies, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in equity securities (consisting of common stocks, ordinary shares and ADRs) of foreign companies. The Fund defines small- and mid-capitalization companies as those companies with a market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell 2500® Growth Index at the time of investment.
When analyzing equity securities to be purchased by the Fund, the Advisor emphasizes a company’s growth prospects. The Fund’s investments are selected using a variety of both quantitative techniques and fundamental research in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return while controlling risk.
The Fund seeks a portfolio comprised of companies which reflect “PRIME” growth factors. These factors are analyzed as part of the Advisor’s investment process and are represented in the following ways:
•Durable Profitability. Companies with advantaged competitive positions have greater potential to generate attractive and increasing margins, and high returns.
•Sustainable Revenue Growth. Solid barriers to entry, favorable pricing power and an effective strategy can support top-line prospects, and superior earnings growth.
•Favorable Industry dynamics. The Advisor leverages their intellectual capital by identifying favorable end market demand, making investment across sectors.
•Strong Management. A critical element of a high-quality company. The Advisor seeks governance practices promoting integrity, accountability, and shareholder alignment. Growth, profitability, and balance sheet strength provide insight into effective management.
•Market Expectations. Important in assessing risk/return opportunities and portfolio capital allocation. Strengthening fundamental trends can expand valuation potential.
The Advisor believes an analysis of these PRIME factors yields insights into the competitive strength of a business model.
The Advisor applies the following strategies when purchasing securities for the Fund’s portfolio:
•Typically holding the securities of fewer than 70 companies with exposure to approximately 20 industries.
•Seeking securities whose growth prospects, in the Advisor’s opinion, are not reflected in their current stock prices.
•Limiting the size of any one new position. No security will represent more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets at the time of purchase.
The Advisor may sell a security when the price meets or exceeds the Advisor’s targeted valuation or price range for the security, when a significant change occurs that adversely affects the Advisor’s premise or reasons for investing in the security or when the company experiences a fundamental deterioration in its business, financial condition or results, or growth prospects.
