James Small Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of foreign and domestic companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued. Equity securities that the Fund will principally invest in are common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities of small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies are defined as those companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase no larger than the stocks in the VettaFi US Equity Small-Cap 2000 TR Index, including ETFs that invest primarily in such securities.
