Investment Approach

Our goal is to produce returns that track those of the broadly diversified S&P 500 index. To that end, we normally buy —

The shares of the 500 individual stocks comprising the index attempting to achieve a correlation of 0.95 between the performance of the fund and that of the S&P 500
New additions to the index at points in time which we believe offer the most advantageous "entry points"

Sell Discipline

We sell a stock only when it is dropped by the index.

** The Portfolio Turnover Rate represents the fund’s portfolio turnover for the fiscal year ending 7/31/11.
The P/E (Price-to-Earnings) Ratio equals the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share. P/E multiples enable investors to compare the relative value of stocks within a portfolio. They show how much an investor must pay for one dollar of earnings.
The P/B (Price-to-Book) Ratio compares the market’s valuation of a company to the value of that company as indicated on its financial statement.

An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
Beta rating attempts to measure relative risk in relation to the fund’s benchmark.
Alpha is a coefficient which measures risk-adjusted performance, factoring in the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market.
Sharpe Ratio is calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.
R² (R-squared) is a measurement of how closely a portfolio’s performance correlates with the performance of a benchmark index.
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the historical volatility of a mutual fund.
