Investment Risks:
A fund that invests in smaller companies may involve higher risk than a fund that invests in larger, more established companies. Small companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. The value approach to investing involves the risk that those stocks deemed undervalued by the portfolio manager may remain undervalued.
