Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic value may not be recognized by the broad market. There is no assurance that dividend-paying stocks will mitigate volatility. The Fund also invests in a smaller number of stocks (generally 30 to 60) than the average mutual fund. The performance of these holdings generally will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors may determine to liquidate the Fund.
