A Multi-Generational Opportunity May Be Brewing in Small Cap Stocks

Fund Facts

 

Gross expense represents the total annual operating expenses that shareholders pay (after the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement, if any). The Fund’s investment manager has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses are capped (excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes including any expenses relating to tax reclaims, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any;) through 8/31/2028 for Class R6 at 0.75%, for Trust Class at 1.50%, for Institutional Class at 0.85% and for Advisor Class at 1.50% (each as a % of average net assets). As of the Fund’s most recent prospectuses, the Manager was not required to waive or reimburse any expenses pursuant to this arrangement. Absent such arrangements, which cannot be changed without Board approval, the returns may have been lower. Information as of the most recent prospectuses dated December 18, 2024, as amended and supplemented.

All Risk Measures are calculated using the Fund’s Institutional Share Class.

Beta is a measure of market-related risk A beta less than 1 indicates the portfolio is less volatile than the index, while a beta greater than 1 indicates more volatility.

Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk adjusted return of a portfolio, calculated by dividing the excess return (portfolio annualized return minus the risk-free rate) by the portfolio standard deviation. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates better performance.

Standard Deviation measures the volatility of the Fund's and Benchmark's returns. Higher deviation indicates higher volatility and risk.

Up Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in up markets relative to the market by dividing the manager's return by the market's return during up periods. A value of 110 indicates the manager performs 10% better than the market.

Down Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in down markets relative to the market by dividing the manager's return by the market's return during down periods. A value of 90 indicates the manager's loss is 100% of the market's loss.

Active Share measures the percentage of mutual fund assets that are invested differently from the benchmark.
