The Fund reserves the right to change the above eligibility criteria for its Institutional
Class shares. Q: Can I purchase or redeem shares
online? Q: How can I find out more? Q: Can you tell me more about the
Fund? A: The Fund invests primarily in large
capitalization equity securities. Rather than just mirroring the market, the
Fund focuses on finding stocks that appear capable of sustaining high growth
rates and that are selling at attractive prices relative to their potential for
growth. The Fund’s Adviser, Leeb Capital
Management, Inc., has developed a disciplined investment process. The Adviser
conducts ongoing research into significant trends and developments in the
economy, global markets, industries, science and politics. After identifying
sectors that the Adviser believes are likely to grow faster than the overall
market as represented by the S&P 500© Index, the Adviser performs
fundamental analysis to find stocks within each sector that meet the following
criteria: Strong Growth Under normal circumstances, the
Adviser’s stock selection process begins with the S&P® 500 Index, a
diversified universe of established, large-capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund seeks to invest in stocks of companies that the Adviser projects
will have three- to five-year growth rates in excess of the average of the
market and/or the companies’ respective sectors. Competitive Edge The Fund seeks to invest in
companies with a competitive edge, either because they are market leaders,
and/or they have dominant positions within their industries. The Adviser
believes these companies generally offer greater predictability of sales,
future earnings and growth rates and that they offer the potential for more
stable and consistent returns. Undervalued Opportunities The Adviser looks for stocks
selling at an attractive price, which the Advisor defines as those stocks that
have a price to earnings divided by estimated growth (PEG) ratio that is less
than the market’s. The Advisor believes that a relatively low PEG ratio indicates that a company’s growth prospects are not fully reflected in the stock’s
current price, and that the stock is thus selling at a discount to its true
value and prospects. In addition to seeking growth companies at a reasonable
price, the Adviser also looks for companies with proven management and sound
financial statements. Diversification The Fund will diversify its
portfolio across the market sectors selected by the Adviser. The Fund may
diversify into sectors that potentially offer some protection when inflation,
deflation or other circumstances adverse to the market arise. The Advisor will focus on its best
ideas, which means that the Fund may invest in a portfolio of as few as 25
stocks. As described above, however, the Adviser will attempt to diversify the
Fund’s investments in common stocks issued by U.S. and foreign large-capitalization
companies among several market sectors. The Adviser considers large-capitalization
companies to be those with market capitalizations of at least $8 billion. The
Fund typically will invest in foreign companies through the use of depositary
receipts such as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts issued by
U.S. banks for shares of a foreign corporation that entitle the holder to
dividends and capital gains on the underlying security. From time to time, the Fund may invest
up to 20% of its assets in common stocks of companies of small- and mid-capitalization
if the Adviser’s research indicates that the companies represent true leaders
in their market sectors and satisfy the Adviser’s other investment criteria. The Fund intends to remain substantially
invested in equity securities. If, however, the Adviser believes that investment opportunities that
meet the Fund’s investment criteria are not currently available, or whether it
determines to take a temporary defensive position in order to preserve capital,
the Adviser may cause the Fund to invest substantially in money market mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds, investment grade short-term money market instruments,
including U.S. Government and agency securities, commercial paper, certificates
of deposit, repurchase agreements and other cash equivalents. To
the extent the Fund makes these investments, however, in this case, the Fund
might not achieve its investment objective. The majority of the Adviser’s research is
generated in-house, while the remaining portion comes from outside sources such
as other investment firms. All of these sources help to augment the Adviser’s research
efforts and to assist portfolio managers in arriving at earnings and growth
estimates and expectations. Sell
Discipline There are
three main conditions under which the Adviser typically sells securities: ·
If the Adviser
foresees a major change in the economic environment, such as the start of a new
trend in interest rates or inflation, that warrants a different asset mix. ·
If a security
fails to live up to the Adviser’s expectations. ·
If a security
meets the Adviser’s performance expectations (or the Adviser determines that
further upside is limited). |
