    The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of total assets in equity securities of domestic small-capitalization value companies. The adviser regards small-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalizations at the time of investment range between $50 million and the largest capitalization stock of either the Russell 2000 Small-Cap index or the S&P 600 Small-Cap index (currently approximately $5 billion).
