Acclivity Small Cap Value Fund Class I (AXVIX)

Overview

The fund is designed to primarily focus on investing in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies, adhering to a specific investment criterion that targets companies within the lowest 8% of U.S. aggregate market capitalization that also demonstrate a low market value relative to their book value. By concentrating on these small capitalization value companies, the fund aims to leverage the potential for growth and value creation that these firms may offer. In addition to direct investments in the equity of small cap companies, the fund employs a strategic approach to manage market exposure and liquidity needs through the use of futures, options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices, as well as exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Products and Services

• Equity Securities Investment

  The fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to equity securities of small cap U.S. companies. These investments are selected based on a detailed investment strategy that focuses on companies fitting within the bottom 8% of U.S. aggregate market capitalization while also exhibiting a lower market value compared to their book value. Through this focused investment in small capitalization value companies, the fund seeks to capture the growth and value potential inherent within this market segment.

• Futures and Options on Futures Contracts

  As part of its strategy to adjust market exposure or manage cash needs efficiently, the fund utilizes futures and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices. This allows the fund to hedge against market volatility, secure profits, and mitigate losses in uncertain market conditions, enabling a more flexible and responsive investment approach.

• Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

  The use of ETFs provides the fund with an additional tool to adjust its market exposure or to manage liquidity. ETFs offer the flexibility to quickly respond to market conditions, access diversified portfolios in specific sectors or indexes, and implement various investment strategies effectively. This versatility complements the fund’s core investment in small cap equity securities and enhances its ability to manage risk and seize market opportunities.
