Fund Description

The Growth Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, consisting of common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, and rights of “growth companies.” Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser” or “KCM”), defines growth companies as companies that, at the time of purchase, are constituents of the Russell 3000® Growth Index or exhibit growth characteristics (e.g., historical or forecasted earnings, sales, and/or cash flow that increase at faster rates than the overall economy) consistent with inclusion of companies in the Russell 3000® Growth Index. In addition to the Fund’s investments in domestic securities, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in sponsored or unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and securities of foreign companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges.
Companies are screened using in-depth, in-house research to identify those which the Adviser believes have favorable attributes, including attractive valuation, strong management, conservative debt, free cash flow, scalable business models, and competitive advantages. The Fund may invest in companies in any sector. Currently, the Fund has significant investments in the information technology sector. The Adviser may sell the Fund’s investments to secure gains, limit losses, or reinvest in more promising investment opportunities.
The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).
