1919 Financial Services Fund Class A (SBFAX)

Overview

The fund is designed to cater to investors looking for a balanced approach towards investments, combining the growth potential of equities with the relative safety of fixed income securities. By investing in a diverse mix of common stocks and other equity securities across various U.S. companies without restriction on market capitalization, alongside investment-grade fixed income securities with varied maturities, the fund aims to provide a blended return. The strategy of maintaining a significant portion of its assets in both equity (at least 65%) and fixed income securities (at least 25%) enables the fund to balance risk and return effectively. This diversification is further enhanced through investments in asset- and mortgage-backed securities, providing a comprehensive solution for investors seeking growth with a controlled level of risk.
