Fund Description
The Fund’s adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective using a combination (or hybrid) of three investment styles through value investing, equity income and balance investing by:
· | investing normally 50-80% of the Funds net assets in U. S. domiciled equity securities broadly diversified by company and industry; seeks above-average dividend-paying equity securities (normally at or above S&P 500s average dividend yield) or securities with expectations of increasing dividends |
· | investing up to 30% of the Funds assets in equities and fixed income principally traded in foreign markets excluding US market |
· | investing 10-40% in fixed income securities (corporate bonds and notes of domestic and foreign issuers of any maturity and credit quality including below investment grade, commonly known as junk bonds) when market and economic conditions are deemed favorable by Funds adviser |
· | investing without regard to market capitalization |
· | Options trading strategy is used primarily to generate income. Because options may be riskier than other types of investments, the Fund's use of options is limited to the aggregate premium, which is the total of paid and received premiums, to no more than 15% of its net assets (less the amount by which any such positions are in-the-money). Covered options writing (selling) is not subject to the 15% limitation. |
The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The Fund’s prospectus will be updated prior to any change in the Fund’s investment objective.
The Principal Investment Selection Process
When selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser will generally base the decision on one or more valuation metrics, commonly referred to as fundamental analysis, while also taking into consideration the following factors:
· | Quality of the companys management; |
· | Strength of the companys balance sheet; |
· | Projected growth rate of the companys earnings in the future; and |
· | Relevant market, economic and political environments. |
The information on which the fundamental analysis is based comes from sources such as SEC filings, a company’s annual report, securities information databases, investment publications, general and business publications, brokerage firm research reports, and
other media information sources. The Adviser will sell an investment when the Adviser believes that the investment is no longer attractive based on its growth potential, price, or both. The Adviser may also sell an investment if the Adviser believes that another investment offers a better opportunity for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Temporary Defensive Strategy:
Under adverse market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. These investments include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and/or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”); high quality money market instruments such as notes, certificates of deposit or bankers acceptances; and money market funds. When the Fund invests in a money market fund, you will indirectly bear a portion of the fees charged by the other mutual fund, which could have an adverse effect on your investment. It is impossible to predict when or for how long the Adviser may employ these strategies for the Fund. While engaged in a temporary defensive position, the Fund will not be invested according to its investment objective and therefore may not achieve its investment objective.
