Why invest?

  • Average annual total return of 8.7% since inception (5/3/04) through 12/31/25.
  • One of the first open-end small-cap funds.
  • Multi-discipline approach that offers exposure to strategies that have tended to perform well in different market environments, including High Quality, Emerging Quality, Traditional Value, and Quality Value.
  • Outperformed its benchmark for the 3-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 25-, 30-, 35-, 40-year and 45-year periods ended 12/31/25.

Morningstar Style Map

The Morningstar Style Map is the Morningstar Style Box™ with the center 75% of fund holdings plotted as the Morningstar Ownership Zone™. The Morningstar Style Box is designed to reveal a fund's investment strategy. The Morningstar Ownership Zone provides detail about a portfolio's investment style by showing the range of stock sizes and styles. The Ownership Zone is derived by plotting each stock in the portfolio within the proprietary Morningstar Style Box. The shaded area represents the center 75% of the Fund's assets while the plot point in the middle represents the weighted average of its holdings. Over time, the shape and location of a fund's ownership zone may vary.
