| Investment Objective: |
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities that comprise the IBD 50 Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Index is a weekly, rules-based, computer-generated stock index compiled and published by Investor's Business Daily ("IBD" or the "Index Provider") that seeks to identify the current top 50 growth stocks. The equity portion of the Index primarily includes U.S. common stocks, but may, to a lesser extent, include common stocks of non-U.S. companies that utilize American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") to trade on U.S. securities exchanges. The equity securities comprising the Index may be issued by small-, mid- and large-capitalization companies located in either developed or emerging markets. The Index may incorporate a cash equivalents position when fewer than 50 stocks meet the Index's selection criteria, which typically occurs during periods of market weakness. Each security is given a score for each factor. Each security's 11 factor scores are then aggregated to provide a composite score. The 50 securities with the highest score are included in the Index and weighted according to their score. |
