Fund Founder and Portfolio Manager Ken Squire has been actively analyzing shareholder activism and 13D filings since 2006, when he founded 13D Monitor, the premiere research service on shareholder activism for the institutional investor community. Squire said: “Our fund is the first of its kind to allow an investor to hold a basket of activist stocks and pursue a pure activist investment strategy.”
The Fund seeks capital appreciation and is designed to potentially outperform market indices by generating returns that are not correlated to the broader market.

Overall stock market risks will affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as economic growth, market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the U.S. securities markets. When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. The Fund is a non-diversified investment company, which makes the value of the Fund's shares more susceptible to certain risks than shares of a diversified investment company. The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer. The value of small or medium capitalization company stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general.
