Fund Description
Incepted in May 2002, the fund's manager is AFBA 5Star Investment Management Company and the sub-adviser is Kornitzer Capital Management. The fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (common stocks, convertibles and warrants) issued by medium-sized or 'mid cap' companies. The fund considers a company to be a mid cap company if it has a market capitalization between $1.5 billion and $10 billion at the time of purchase. The fund identifies long-term trends with the aim of investing in mid cap companies that the sub-adviser believes have favorable operating environments during the three to five years after purchase. The fund offers dividends and capital gains semi-annually, usually in June and December.
