FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests in securities of issuers that the portfolio management team believes have, among other things, resilient business franchises, strong cash flows, modest capital requirements, capable management and growth potential. It generally considers selling a portfolio security when it determines that the security no longer satisfies its investment criteria or that replacing the security with another investment should improve the fund?s valuation and/or quality. The fund is nondiversified.
