Objective & Strategy
The fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Investing primarily in common stocks of small-cap companies that management believes can generate sustainable growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow that is not fully reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations.
Navigating Uncharted Waters
A small-cap fund that targets high quality companies with sustainable, above average growth. The team's mission is to deliver the characteristics of the small-cap asset class, but their goal is to outperform the market and peers with less risk.
New opportunities
US small caps include entrepreneurial businesses, which innovate to create new markets or a new way to meet an old need.
Experienced leadership
Lead manager Juliet Ellis developed a well-defined investment process and has used it to successfully manage small-cap portfolios for two decades.
Research edge
Small-cap companies are less-followed by analysts, so experienced analysts, doing in-depth research, are more likely to gain an information advantage.

Fund Documents
About risk
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country's exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund's securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
