Investment Process
Quantitative screening-Apply a systematic selection screen to a universe of primarily small-cap U.S. stocks. Each stock is ranked by growth and price considerations.
Qualitative research-Perform rigorous fundamental analysis on the top 10% of the stocks in the screened universe.
Make investment decisions-Select the securities that offer the best combination of sound value and promising growth potential. Continually monitor and analyze the list of opportunities for additional buy candidates.
Apply rigid sell discipline-Sell holdings that have negative earnings surprises or show poor relative price performance. A holding may also be sold if its weighting in the portfolio becomes excessive (normally above 3% of the Fund's investments).

The Fund may invest its assets in smaller cap stocks and securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs), which may entail greater risk than larger companies, including higher volatility. When investing in value securities, the market may not necessarily have the same value assessment as the manager, and, therefore, the performance of the securities may decline.
