Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Advisor has an agreement in place to limit expenses. However, the expense limits currently have not been exceeded.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 500 industrial, utility, transportation and financial companies of the U.S. markets. The Russell 1000 Growth® Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Indices are not available for investment and do not incur charges or expenses. Fund holdings and sector weightings are subject to change at any time due to ongoing portfolio management. References to specific investments funds should not be construed as a recommendation by the fund or the Advisor to buy or sell securities. The Median Market Cap represents the market capitalization of the stock which is the midpoint of the stocks in the portfolio or benchmark. Weighted Average Market Cap represents the average market capitalization of the portfolio or benchmark based on a dollar-weighted average. The Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio reflects the multiple of earnings at which a stock sells. The P/E ratio above uses analyst consensus earnings for the next year as the measure of earnings. Earnings per share (EPS) is total earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding. 1 year projected EPS growth is the rate at which a consensus of analysts believes that EPS will grow in the next year. Projected EPS Growth is not a measure of the fund's future performance. The PEG ratio is the forward P/E ratio divided by the projected EPS growth rate.
