James Small Cap Fund Class A (JASCX)

Overview

The fund primarily focuses on investing in equity securities, targeting both foreign and domestic companies that are considered undervalued by the Adviser. By prioritizing investments in underpriced entities, the fund aims to capitalize on the potential for growth and value increase. This approach involves a mix of common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are mainly engaged in equity securities, underlining a diverse investment strategy. A significant emphasis is placed on small capitalization companies, with at least 80% of the fund's net assets dedicated to such equity securities, potentially increasing the risk and reward profile of the fund's investment portfolio.

Products and Services

• Common Stocks

  Equity investments in publicly traded companies offering investors ownership shares. The fund selects common stocks of both foreign and domestic companies it assesses as undervalued, aiming to benefit from their potential appreciation in value.

• Preferred Stocks

  Equity investments that provide a fixed dividend but with predetermined terms of payment ahead of common stock dividends. By investing in preferred stocks, the fund seeks to add a layer of income generation to its portfolio via dividends, potentially enhancing overall returns with somewhat reduced risk compared to common stocks.

• Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

  Investments in funds that track an index, sector, commodity, or other assets, but which can be bought or sold on a stock exchange similar to a regular stock. The fund invests in ETFs that focus primarily on equity securities, intending to diversify its investment spread across various sectors and geographical locations through a single transaction.
