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.
