Fund Information

Fund Management

Fund at a Glance

Index investing has become one of the most popular investment styles in the United States. We feel that in efficient markets, the lower relative fees give our index funds a distinct advantage over actively managed funds with similar investment styles. Furthermore, investing in an index fund gives the investor diversification and a predictable management style.

Please note that diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

  • The stocks in the Fund represent roughly 3.4% of the total market index as measured by the S&P 1500 Composite Index.
  • It is made up of small-sized companies, which many investors believe to have superior growth potential.
  • The portfolio invests in each major market sector.
  • The stocks held by the Fund are different than those included in the S&P 500 and S&P MidCap Funds. Therefore, it represents a diversification opportunity for investors of our other index funds.
