The Fund may alsoinvest in stocks of companies of any size thatdo not pay dividends, but have the potential ofpaying dividends in the future if they appear tobe undervalued.The Fund generally uses a “bottom-up”approach in attempting to identify stocks thatare undervalued. This means that the Fundgenerally identifies potential investmentsthrough fundamental research and analysiswhich includes, among other things, analyzinga company’s balance sheet, cash flowstatements and competition within acompany’s industry. The Fund also assesses acompany’s corporate strategy and whether thecompany is operating in the interests ofshareholders, as well as, analyzing economictrends, interest rates, and industrydiversification.The Fund may sell a security if it becomes fullyvalued, its fundamentals have deteriorated oralternative investment opportunities becomemore attractive.Principal Risks: You can lose money byinvesting in the Fund.
