Opinions expressed are those of the author or host and are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

Mutual fund investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in small- and medium-capitalization companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger capitalization companies.

References to other mutual funds should not be interpreted as an offer of these securities.
