Fund Description
The Growth & Income Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a mix of growth equity securities and income producing securities, with no minimum or maximum investment requirements specified for either category. Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser” or “KCM”), defines growth equity securities as common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, and rights of companies that, at the time of purchase, are constituents of the Russell 3000® Growth Index or exhibit growth characteristics (generates positive cash flows or earnings that increase at faster rates than the overall economy) consistent with inclusion of companies in the Russell 3000® Growth Index. KCM defines income producing securities as securities that pay interest or a dividend at least annually, such as convertible securities and dividend-paying equity securities (i.e., securities of companies that have historically paid dividends and have strong dividend
policies). In addition to investments in domestic securities, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in sponsored or unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and securities of foreign companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges.
Companies are screened using in-depth, in-house research to identify those which the Adviser believes have favorable attributes, including attractive valuation, strong management, conservative debt, free cash flow, scalable business models, and competitive advantages. The Fund may invest in companies in any sector. The Adviser may sell the Fund’s investments to secure gains, limit losses, or reinvest in more promising investment opportunities.
