The 130/30 Value Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies with market capitalizations at the time of initial purchase similar to those in the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”) that are publicly traded on a U.S. securities market.
The Fund will hold long equity securities that Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC (“CRM” or the “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, has identified as undervalued and take short positions in equity securities that the Adviser has identified as overvalued or poised for underperformance. The Adviser believes that a long/short strategy will enable the Fund to reflect the Adviser’s positive and negative views on individual stocks and to seek higher performance. In rising markets, the fund expects that the long positions will appreciate to a greater extent than the short positions, and in declining markets, the short positions will gain in value relative to the long positions. However, there can be no guarantee that this result will be achieved. The market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index changes constantly, and as a result, the capitalization of companies in which the Fund will invest will also change. As of September 30, 2007, the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index was from approximately $901 million to $521 billion.
Supported by an experienced team of investment professionals, the portfolio managers make judgments about the relative
attractiveness of various securities in selecting stocks for the 130/30 Value Mutual Fund. Although the Fund is built from
the bottom up, stock-specific risks, sector weightings and risk/reward characteristics are all taken into account in the
portfolio construction process.
