  • Prioritizing the quantitative assessment of absolute downside risk to mitigate against loss of capital.

Data as of June 30, 2024. Holdings are subject to change. Information is for the institutional share class only; other classes may vary. There are specific risks inherent in small cap investing such as greater share price volatility as compared to other funds that invest in stocks of companies with larger and potentially more stable market capitalizations. Diversification does not protect against market loss. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objective.
