Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in securities of small capitalization companies. The Fund considers a company to be a small capitalization company if it has a market capitalization, at the time of investment, within the range of the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 2000® Index. The capitalization range of that index is subject to change over time due to market activity or changes in the composition of the index. As of February 28, 2022, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $18.6 million to $12 billion.
The Fund’s investment sub-advisor, Bahl & Gaynor Inc., d/b/a Bahl & Gaynor Investment Counsel (“Bahl & Gaynor”) pursues its small cap growth strategy by focusing on high-quality dividend-paying stocks. Quantitative tools are initially used for screening purposes, but Bahl & Gaynor’s investment process is primarily driven by fundamental, bottom-up, company-focused processes. The investment process begins by quantitatively screening the stock universe to identify companies with perceived competitive advantages by evaluating their historical revenue growth, earnings growth, long-term debt/capital, dividend history and cash flows. Bahl & Gaynor conducts extensive fundamental research on potential portfolio companies to determine which stock(s) provide the best risk/reward opportunities for inclusion in the portfolio. Bahl & Gaynor typically will sell an investment if the company’s fundamentals have changed or the company’s market capitalization (stock market worth) moves outside of the small cap range.
Although the Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, based on portfolio positioning, the Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors, including the Industrials sector. However, as the sector composition of the Fund’s portfolio changes over time, the Fund’s exposure to the Industrials sector may be lower at a future date, and the Fund’s exposure to other market sectors may be higher.
The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, depositary receipts that may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges, and real estate investments trusts (“REITs”). The Fund may invest in stocks considered to be value stocks, which generally trade at prices that are lower than their perceived full value.
The Fund may invest cash balances in other investment companies, including government money market funds, and may purchase and sell futures contracts, including equity index futures contracts, to gain market exposure on cash balances in anticipation of liquidity needs. The Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions.
