CWS

The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a focused group of U.S. exchange listed equity securities, including common and preferred stock and ADRs. It invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The Advisor allocates the fund's portfolio investments using research obtained from a model developed by Edward J. Elfenbein, which uses a variety of methods for security selection and focuses on firms that are fundamentally sound and have shown consistency in their financial results and high earnings quality.
