| Investment Objective: |
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in the common stock of companies that demonstrate "Monopolistic Attributes." Such companies may possess Monopolistic Attributes either: (1) individually by dominating a market with limited to no competition for its products or services from other companies (a monopoly); or (2) dominate a market collectively with one or more other companies that sell similar products or services with limited to no competition from others (an oligopoly). Fund invests in U.S. and non-U.S. companies with market capitalizations of at least $2 billion and that are traded on U.S. exchanges including American depository receipts ("ADRs"). Companies are selected for investment by the Sub-Advisor based on qualitative analysis of the Monopolistic Attributes of a company as well as quantitative analysis of various financial performance metrics such as revenue growth, profit margin, return on investment, return on equity, debt-to-equity ratio and earnings per share. |
