Fundamental analysis then focuses on deriving proprietary earnings estimates, constructing a list of key merits and risks, and calculating high and low price targets which are used to determine reward/risk ratios. Candidate stocks with the ability to exceed consensus earnings estimates that also exhibit greater upside price potential than downside price risk are considered for further review. The stocks are then subject to extensive risk analysis within the context of the overall portfolio. Ongoing monitoring and a strict sell discipline are important aspects of the overall investment process. The Adviser utilizes a disciplined sell process and may choose to sell a holding, for example, when it does not satisfy specific quantitative criteria, if analysts project earnings below consensus estimates, if a security exceeds our reasonable price target, or to take advantage of a better investment opportunity.

The Fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of value oriented domestic equity securities of large cap companies.
