About
This fund utilizes a market-capitalization weighted methodology to invest in a broad and diverse selection of readily tradable securities from U.S. small-cap companies, identified by the Advisor as value stocks. This approach means that companies with higher market capitalizations generally hold a more substantial proportion within the portfolio compared to those with lower market capitalizations. Under normal operating conditions, and as a flexible guideline, the portfolio aims to commit at least 80% of its net assets to equities of small-capitalization U.S. firms.
