Hodges Fund | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies. |
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The Hodges Fund will invest in common stocks of companies of any size market capitalization - small, medium or large. The Hodges Funds portfolio managers will invest in both growth and value companies. The Advisers stock selection process focuses on rigorously researching individual companies and examining what is happening inside those companies. The Adviser studies and analyzes the fundamentals of each companys earnings, cash flow, and intrinsic underlying value and will invest in those companies where it believes there is a disconnect between the markets perception and the intrinsic value of the companys fundamentals. In selecting investments, the Adviser will also invest where it is deemed appropriate in companies having special situations and whose shares are out of favor, but appear to have prospects for above-average growth and recovery over an extended period of time. Special situations refer to circumstances where companies face significant stress which may cause stock values to depreciate below expected thresholds. Companies having special situations include, but are not limited to, companies that are experiencing management changes, financial distress, corporate restructurings, government inquiries, or are especially susceptible to the negative impact of market conditions.
From time to time, the Fund may engage in short sale transactions with respect to 10% of its net assets. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments and may, from time to time, purchase put and call options on U.S. traded stocks or security indices. The Fund may also sell options and write covered put and call options. The Hodges Fund is permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities futures and options.
The Hodges Fund may also invest in the stocks of foreign companies, including those in emerging markets, which are U.S. dollar denominated and traded on a domestic national securities exchange, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).
The Adviser will consider selling a security in the Hodges Funds portfolio if that security has become overvalued or has reached its growth potential. In addition, in an attempt to increase the Hodges Funds tax efficiency or to satisfy certain tax diversification requirements, the Adviser may take tax considerations into account in deciding whether or when to sell a particular stock. The Hodges Funds portfolio turnover could exceed 100% in a given year. A high portfolio turnover may result in the realization and distribution of capital gains, as well as higher transaction costs. The Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. |
Hodges Small Cap Fund | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies. |
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | Under normal market conditions, the Small Cap Growth Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the stocks of small capitalization (small cap) companies. The Small Cap Growth Fund defines small cap companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2000® Index. As of the last reconstitution date, June 30, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Index ranged from $119.4 million to $7.4 billion. The Adviser seeks to buy securities of companies that it believes are undervalued, relative to their long-term earnings growth potential and/or offer above-average growth prospects. The remaining 20% of the Funds net assets may be invested in the stocks of micro, mid and/or large capitalization companies, U.S. government securities and other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Although most of the Funds securities will be domestic, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in equity securities of foreign issuers, including those in emerging markets, which may include both direct investments and investments in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities, and in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) consistent with the Funds investment objective. From time to time, the Fund may engage in short sale transactions with respect to 10% of its net assets. The Fund uses a bottom-up approach in investing. The Fund also may invest in money market instruments and may, from time to time, purchase put and call options on U.S. traded stocks, currencies or security indices. The Fund may also sell options purchased and write covered put and call options. The Small Cap Growth Fund is permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities futures and options.
The Adviser considers selling a security in the Small Cap Growth Funds portfolio if the Adviser believes that security has become overvalued or has reached its growth potential. In addition, in an attempt to increase the Small Cap Growth Funds tax efficiency or to satisfy certain tax diversification requirements, the Adviser may take tax considerations into account in deciding whether or when to sell a particular security. The Small Cap Growth Funds portfolio turnover could exceed 100% in a given year. A high turnover may result in the realization and distribution of capital gains, as well as higher transaction costs. The Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of March 31, 2025, 28% of the Small Cap Growth Funds net assets were invested in securities within the consumer cyclical sector.
Note: Because there are practical limits to the amount of small cap assets that can be effectively managed, the Small Cap Growth Fund will close to new investors when it reaches an asset size as determined by the Adviser to be too large to sustain additional assets. Shareholders will be provided 30 days written notice upon such conditions. If the Small Cap Growth Fund closes to new investors, based on market conditions and other factors, it may reopen at a later date. |
Hodges Small Intrinsic Value Fund | |

Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies. |
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The Small Intrinsic Value Fund employs a value strategy and invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common and preferred stocks of small capitalization (small cap) companies. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund defines small cap companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2000® Value Index. As of the last reconstitution date, June 30, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Value Index ranged from $119.4 million to $7.4 billion. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund will invest in companies where the Adviser believes their market prices do not reflect their true values. The Fund will typically seek to invest in companies that have a high amount of intrinsic asset value, low valuation multiples, or the potential for a turnaround in underlying revenue, earnings and/or cash flow.
Up to 20% of the Small Intrinsic Value Funds net assets may be invested in the stocks of micro, mid and/or large capitalization companies, U.S. government securities and other investment companies, including exchange traded funds (ETFs). Although most of the Small Intrinsic Value Funds securities will be domestic, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in equity securities of foreign issuers, including those in emerging markets, which may include both direct investments and investments in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities, and in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) consistent with the Funds investment objective.
From time to time, the Small Intrinsic Value Fund may engage in short sale transactions with respect to up to 10% of its net assets. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund also may invest in money market instruments and may, from time to time, purchase put and call options on U.S. traded stocks, currencies or security indices. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund may also sell options purchased and write covered put and call options. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund is permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities futures and options.
The Small Intrinsic Value Fund uses a bottom-up approach in investing. The Fund invests in deep value situations that may sometimes require a longer time horizon. The Fund will typically seek to invest in companies that have a high amount of intrinsic asset value, low price to book ratios, above average dividend yields, low PE multiples, or the potential for a turnaround in the underlying fundamentals. The Adviser will consider selling a security in the Small Intrinsic Value Funds portfolio, if the Adviser believes that security is no longer trading below its fair value or has reached its growth potential. In addition, in an attempt to increase the Small Intrinsic Value Funds tax efficiency or to satisfy certain tax diversification requirements, the Adviser may take tax considerations into account in deciding whether or when to sell a particular security. The Funds portfolio turnover could exceed 100% in a given year. A high turnover may result in the realization and distribution of capital gains, as well as higher transaction costs. The Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market.

Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies. |
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | Under normal market conditions, the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in large capitalization income producing equity securities. The Fund invests primarily in the stocks of large capitalization companies. The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies whose market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, are within the range of market capitalization of companies constituting the S&P 500® Index. As of June 30, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500® Index ranged from $5.2 billion to $3.85 trillion. The Adviser selects investments using a bottom-up approach, which is largely driven by internal research, and means that the Adviser looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Funds investment policies. While the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund invests primarily in securities that are traded in the United States, it may also invest up to 25% of its net assets in stocks of foreign companies, including those in emerging markets, which are U.S. dollar denominated and trade on a domestic national securities exchange, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers that have market capitalizations outside the defined large-cap level at the time of purchase. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and equity-equivalent securities such as convertible securities, stock futures contracts or equity options. The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities, debt obligations of governments and their agencies and other similar securities, convertible and non-convertible debt securities, U.S. government securities and in money market funds. The Fund also may purchase put and call options on U.S. traded stocks, currencies or security indices. From time to time, the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund may also engage in short sales transactions and may sell options purchased and write covered put and call options. The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund is permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities futures and options.
The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund expects to issue dividends from net Investment income, if any, on a quarterly basis. An investor may choose to have the quarterly dividend paid in cash or reinvested into the Fund.
The Adviser will consider selling a security in the Blue Chip Equity Income Funds portfolio if the Adviser believes that security has become overvalued or is believed to have reached its growth potential. Such evaluation will involve measuring the potential for additional appreciation in a security relative to its down-side risk. The Adviser will also take tax considerations into account when making a sell decision. While the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund will be managed with consideration given to tax efficiency and will pursue and target a turnover of less than 100% in a given year, the Blue Chip Equity Income Funds portfolio turnover may vary depending on market conditions in any given year. The Blue Chip Equity Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of March 31, 2025, 20% of the Blue Chip Equity Funds net assets were invested in securities within the information technology sector. |
