The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and seeks to achieve its objective of long-term capital growth by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in domestic equity securities and may invest to a lesser extent in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts). In particular, the Fund seeks companies exhibiting financial strength and stability, strong management and fundamental value. Investment decisions for the Fund are made without regard to the capitalization (size) of the companies in which it invests. The Fund may invest in any size company, including large, medium and smaller companies.

The Fund may invest in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds for cash sweeps.

The investment philosophy and strategy of the Fund can be broadly characterized as a “value” approach, as it generally seeks a “margin of safety” in its investment purchases with the goal being to avoid permanent impairment of capital (as opposed to temporary losses in share value relating to shifting investor sentiment or other normal share price volatility). In particular, a discount to “intrinsic value” is sought even for the best of businesses, with a deeper discount demanded for companies that we view as under business model, balance sheet, management or other stresses. “Intrinsic value” is based on our judgment of what a prudent and rational business buyer would pay in cash for all of the company in normal markets.

The Fund is non-diversified and typically expects to invest in a smaller number of issuers.
