Our disciplined contrarian value strategy may not meet its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. Our concentration in U.S. equities has the risk that changes in the value of a single security may have a significant effect on the Fund’s value. Value investing involves the risk that such securities may not reach their expected market value, causing the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
