Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through investments in equity securities of companies with a small or mid-sized market capitalization. The Adviser currently defines small and mid-cap market capitalization as securities within the range of the Russell 2500 Value® Index at the time of investment. The market cap range of the index changes daily, and as a result, the capitalization of small and mid- cap companies in which the Fund invests will also change.
Investment Philosophy
Our philosophy is to deliver above average long-term results, while reducing portfolio risk through the application of a disciplined, opportunistic, and unique investment strategy. Our investment team uses a bottom-up, fundamental approach to stock selection focusing the majority of the portfolio on companies undergoing internal corporate restructuring.
Risk
Smaller and medium-sized company stocks are more volatile and less liquid than larger more established company securities.

* Star ratings are based on risk-adjusted return.

(Overall: 1 star out of 393 funds; 3-years: 1 star out of 393 funds; 5-years: 1 star out of 372 funds; 10-years: 1 star out of 272 funds in the Mid-Cap Value category).

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of funds in each fund category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. Ratings are for the Fund's I Share Class; other classes may vary.
