Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, we invest:
| ■ | at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. |
We invest principally in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, which we define as companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. The market capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Index was approximately $17 million to $10.8 billion, as of June 30, 2024 and is expected to change frequently. Furthermore, we may use futures contracts in order to equitize cash.
We employ a risk controlled investment approach in seeking to construct a broadly diversified portfolio of companies with a superior valuation and earnings profile. Our research, which utilizes a combination of quantitative methods and fundamental analysis, identifies companies based on valuation, earnings and trading momentum characteristics that give a comprehensive view of each company’s relative valuation, operational and financial performance, and stock price behavior. We regularly review the investments of the portfolio and may sell a portfolio holding when, among other reasons, we believe there is deterioration in the underlying fundamentals of the business, or we have identified a more attractive investment opportunity.
We may actively trade portfolio securities, which may lead to higher transaction costs that may affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, active trading of portfolio securities may lead to higher taxes if your shares are held in a taxable account.
