Investment Objective, Strategies & Risks
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objective of the GKM Growth Fund is long term capital appreciation.
PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES The central premise of the Fund's investment style is "growth at a reasonable price" or "GARP."
The Fund usually invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks from small, medium and large capitalization companies. These are chosen through in-depth fundamental analysis of a company's financial reports and other public records. The adviser looks for stocks having all or some of the following characteristics:
- Strong earnings growth
- Reasonable valuations
- Quality management
- Financial strength and stability
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks. While it is anticipated that the Fund will invest across a range of industries, certain sectors are likely to be overweighted compared to others because the adviser seeks best investment opportunities regardless of sector. The sectors in which the Fund may be overweighted will vary at different points in the economic cycle. At times, a portion of the Fund may be invested in companies with short operating histories, referred to as "new issuers." The Fund may sell a security when the adviser's research indicates that there has been deterioration in the company's fundamentals or growth potential.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Please refer to the Prospectus (see "Risk/Return Summary") for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund. As with any mutual fund investment, the Fund's returns will vary and you could lose money.
