Fund Description
|
The fund was incepted in May 1956 and is managed by Value Line. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of common stocks or equity securities convertible into common stock which the advisor categorizes as ''special situations.' A ''special situation'' arises when an unusual development is taking place which the advisor believes will probably cause a company's securities to increase in value. The fund may invest in companies of any size. Dividends and capital gains, if any, are distributed annually.
