investment strategy / process

The Allegiant Small Cap Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of publicly traded small cap equity securities of U.S. companies with market caps matching the benchmark^.  The Fund’s managers seek to invest in small cap companies with strong growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow.  Purchase decisions are also based on the security’s valuation relative to the company’s expected growth rate, earnings quality and competitive position, valuation compared to similar securities and the security’s trading liquidity.  The Fund also utilizes an active trading approach.

^The market cap range of the benchmark frequently changes.  As a result, the capitalization of companies in which the Fund invests may also change. 

Investment Risk

Investments in small capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies due to greater volatility and less liquidity.
