The Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund invests most of its assets in equity securities of large cap domestic growth companies where the primary risk is that the value of the equity securities it holds might decrease in response to the activities of those companies or market and economic conditions.  Individual securities may not perform as expected or a strategy used by the Adviser may fail to produce its intended result.  Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment, and at times when the investment style used by the Adviser for the Fund is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investment styles. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund is designed for long-term investors.
