Investment Objectives

To provide long-term capital growth. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies based on Strategy Indexing, an investment portfolio management model developed in 1995 by Jim O’Shaughnessy. Strategy Indexing is a rigorous and disciplined approach to stock selection based on characteristics associated with above average returns over long periods of time.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: employs a proprietary quantitative approach to security selection based on research and analysis of historical data; screens securities using a factor-based model for attractive value, growth and quality characteristics; screens securities based on financial and governance risk factors; invests in U.S. small-cap stocks.
