*Price to earnings ratio is the value of a company's stock price
relative to company earnings. Price to book ratio is the ratio
of a stock's latest closing price divided by its book value per
share. Book value is the total assets of a company minus total
liabilities. Price to cash flow is the ratio of a stock's latest
closing price divided by cash flow per share for the past 12 months.
**Turnover typically produces a corresponding level of capital
gains. In this fund, management's trading strategy strives to
optimize tax efficiency by minimizing capital gains. By buying
closer to bid prices and selling closer to ask prices (on average),
the fund seeks to achieve negative trading costs, thereby having
turnover add to, rather than detract from, investment performance.

Who Should Invest:
The Advisor believes that this fund is appropriate as a long-term
investment (at least five years, but ideally ten years or more)
for shareholders who can accommodate very high short-term price
volatility. It may also be appropriate as a diversifier (a method
of spreading risk) for a portfolio consisting primarily of large
stocks. It is not an appropriate investment
for short-term investors, those trying to time the market, or
those who would panic during a major market or fund correction.
