Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform? For the period of May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025, the Applied Finance Dividend Fund Institutional Class Shares (the “Fund”) returned 4.99%. In comparison, the Morningstar US Market Total Return Index returned 11.51% and the Morningstar US Large Mid Value Total Return Index returned 10.65% for the same period. What key factors influenced performance? US stocks rose gradually from May 2024 through January 2025 before peaking in mid-February. Uncertainty over tariffs and their effect on the economy pushed stocks lower in March and part of April, with indices rebounding by the end of the month. The performance of the Morningstar US Market Total Return Index was strongest in the Financials and Information Technology sectors. During the 12 months ending April 30, 2025, Growth stocks outperformed Value stocks. The Fund’s holdings focus on dividend income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks lowered performance relative to the Morningstar US Market Total Return Index. Health Care, Utilities and Financials sectors were leading contributors to the Fund’s performance, while Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Materials sectors were leading detractors relative to the Morningstar US Market Total Return Index. Underperformance was generally due to stock selection. |
