Trust seeks above-average capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its assets in small
and/or mid capitalization companies. &lt;/span&gt;The Trust is concentrated &lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;(i.e., invests 25% or more
of Trust assets) &lt;/span&gt;in common stocks of companies within each of the health care and industrials sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0 0"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

goal with the Trust is to invest in undervalued companies with strong market positions. Through our selection process, we seek to find
the stocks that we believe have the best prospects for above-average capital appreciation and companies with the following qualities:
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt 0.25in; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;

Ability to generate earnings growth; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

the Universe.&lt;/i&gt; We begin by selecting the companies listed in the S&amp;amp;P MidCap 400&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; and S&amp;amp;P SmallCap 600&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt;
Indexes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

for Financial Strength.&lt;/i&gt; We then evaluate companies based on multiple factors as of the date the portfolio was selected, including
the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt 10pt; text-indent: 8pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;
Greater than $100 million in cash;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt 10pt; text-indent: 8pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;
Return on Equity greater than 15%. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;These
factors are designed to identify those stocks which exhibit strong fundamental characteristics and to eliminate those that do not meet
our investment criteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Examine
Historical Financial Results.&lt;/i&gt; The next step in our process is to look for those companies that have earned a net cash flow return
on investment that is above the average of their peers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Select
Companies with Attractive Valuations.&lt;/i&gt; The final step in our process is to select companies based on the fundamental analysis of our
team of research analysts. The stocks selected for the portfolio are those that meet our investment objective, trade at attractive valuations
and, in our opinion, are likely to exceed market expectations of future cash flows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;While
not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio selection process, the Trust also invests in dividend-paying securities and foreign securities.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no guarantee that the objective of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
