Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its expense-free benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to ease monetary policy with cuts to short-term interest rates in September and November. Against this positive macroeconomic backdrop, U.S. stocks posted very strong gains.
The Fund lagged its benchmark in seven of 11 industry sectors. Subpar stock selection in information technology, financials, and industrials hurt most. Strong selection in energy and health care, as well as an underweight to materials, which lagged the overall market, helped performance.
The Fund seeks to build a portfolio of stocks with lower volatility than the broad U.S. equity market. The Fund’s average volatility for the 12 months was nearly 20% less than that of its benchmark.
The absolute returns of the Fund and the market during the fiscal year were remarkable. The Fund’s benchmark returned far less during the past decade, which was a good one for stocks. As such, long-term shareholders should expect periods of lower performance.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year-basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to ease monetary policy with cuts to short-term interest rates in September and November. Against this positive macroeconomic backdrop, U.S. stocks posted very strong gains.
Six of the Fund’s 11 industry sectors positively impacted relative performance. Financials contributed the most, owing to both strong selection and an overweight allocation. Selection in industrials, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples also boosted results.
Energy detracted most from relative performance, due to both selection and an overweight allocation. Information technology also lagged, owing to both selection and an underweight allocation.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to ease monetary policy with cuts to short-term interest rates in September and November. Against this positive macroeconomic backdrop, U.S. stocks posted very strong gains.
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks with strong operation, earning, and balance sheet quality, as determined by the advisor.
Only five of the 11 industry sectors contributed to relative performance. The greatest detractors included stock selection in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples sectors. An overweight allocation to consumer staples and an underweight to communication services also detracted. The greatest contributor was selection among financial stocks.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to ease monetary policy with cuts to short-term interest rates in September and November. Against this positive macroeconomic backdrop, U.S. stocks posted very strong gains.
In recent years, value stocks have underperformed their growth counterparts. This period was no exception. Seven of 11 industry sectors detracted from relative results.
Energy—particularly stock selection and, to a lesser extent, an overweight position in the sector—was the portfolio’s greatest detractor. A combination of stock selection and an underweight position in information technology was another large detractor. Materials and communication services also lagged. By far, the greatest overall contributor was financials, due to a combination of stock selection and allocation decisions.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year-basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to ease monetary policy with cuts to short-term interest rates in September and November. Against this positive macroeconomic backdrop, U.S. stocks posted very strong gains.
Six of the Fund’s 11 industry sectors positively impacted relative performance. Selection in industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary especially contributed, as did an overweight allocation to financials.
Information technology detracted the most from relative performance, due to both selection and an underweight allocation. Energy lagged as well, owing to both selection and an overweight allocation.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the S&P 0–7 Year National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index.
U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis for the period, quelling recession fears. Consumer price inflation trended lower, falling below 3% in July, and the Federal Reserve began to cut short-term interest rates in September. The pivot in monetary policy contributed to strong gains for U.S. investment-grade bonds.
The muni bond market performed well for the period, but it lagged the taxable U.S. bond market.
Revenue bonds in the broad muni market returned more than their general obligation counterparts. By credit quality, munis on the bottom rung of the investment-grade credit ladder outperformed their higher-rated counterparts. By maturity, longer-dated muni bonds posted the strongest gains.

How has the Fund changed?

The Fund's principal investment strategy was modified to add that the Fund may become nondiversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 solely as a result of an index rebalance or market movement. The Fund added nondiversification risk as a principal risk.
