ABOUT THE FUND
The investment process for the Dana Large Cap Core Fund is a sector-neutral, relative-value approach that has been used by Dana Investment Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s sub-advisor, since 1999.
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in large cap equity securities, which is defined as companies having a market capitalization of over $5 billion at the time of purchase.
The Fund portfolio is designed to resemble the broad market, add value above market returns through superior stock selection, yet exhibit lower volatility than the market. The investment process is a hybrid of quantitative and fundamental techniques.
Individual securities in the Fund are chosen after rigorous fundamental research to identify companies with attractive valuations relative to peer companies, relative to the broader economic sector in which companies are members, and relative to the historical and forecasted growth the companies may exhibit.
Mutual Funds involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The fund may invest in REITs. Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. The Fund may invest in ETFs and other investment companies. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the cost of investing directly in Underlying Fund shares and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in equities. Stocks of mid-cap and small-cap companies are more risky than stocks of larger companies. The Adviser invests in equity securities only if they meet both the Fund’s investment and moral requirements, and as such, the return may be lower than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations.
1) The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, but only to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Operating Expenses, excluding brokerage fees and commissions; borrowing costs, such as interest; taxes; indirect expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses to 1.75% of the average daily net assets for Class A and N shares, 1.50% of the average daily net assets of Class I shares and 2.50% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares through February 28, 2013. The Board of Trustees may terminate the fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement upon 60 days notice to shareholders.
