| The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in a blended portfolio of growth and value stocks of small-cap companies. The portfolio manager seeks opportunities across the growth/value spectrum, resulting in what is generally considered a ?core? portfolio. The investment process focuses on bottom-up stock selection with the goal of identifying companies that possess a sustainable competitive advantage combined with an attractive valuation. It may also invest in REITs, foreign securities, convertible bonds, securities outside the small-cap range and cash-equivalent securities. | | | Fund Profile |
