Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities of small-cap companies. The Fund currently considers small-cap companies to be those with market capitalization at the time of acquisition within the range of capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2000® Value Index (between $11.22 million and $7.492 billion as of May 8, 2020, the date of the latest reconstitution of the Index (implemented by the Index June 26, 2020)). This capitalization range will change over time. The Fund may continue to hold securities of a portfolio company that subsequently drops below or appreciates above the small-capitalization threshold. Because of this, the Fund may have less than 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies at any given time. Silvercrest Asset Management Group, LLC, the subadviser to the Fund (“Silvercrest” or the “Subadviser”), invests in companies that it believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. These companies typically possess, in the opinion of the Subadviser, one or more of the following attributes:
Business that results in relatively consistent longer-term earnings and cash flow growth
Franchise/asset value that may make the company attractive to potential acquirers
Cyclically depressed earnings and/or cash flow that has potential for improvement
A catalyst that will promote recognition of the company’s undervalued status
The Fund may also invest in securities of companies outside the small-cap range, preferred stock, convertible preferred stocks, convertible bonds and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Subadviser employs a strategy of diversification, and adheres to a structured sell discipline.
