Description

The fund's primary objective is to generate the highest possible long-term capital appreciation for its investors. The investment advisor employs a "value-oriented" methodology when selecting its equity holdings. A significant portion, specifically at least 80%, of the fund's net assets—including any capital borrowed for investment purposes—is committed to securities issued by smaller companies. For the fund's strategy, small-capitalization companies are defined as those entities whose market value, at the time of initial purchase, falls within or below the range of businesses included in the Russell 2000 Index following its most recent rebalancing.
