What is the Funds Investment Objective?
The investment objective of the Davenport Balanced Income Fund (the Balanced Income Fund or the Fund) is current income and an opportunity for long-term growth.
What are the Funds Fees and Expenses?
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.
Shareholder Fees | |
(fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
Management Fees | 0.75% |
Other Expenses | 0.17% |
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses | 0.01% |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.93%(1) |
(1) | Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses will not correlate to the Funds ratio of total expenses to average net assets in the Funds Financial Highlights, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund but does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. |
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |||
$ 95 | $ 296 | $ 515 | $1,143 | |||
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 23% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Funds Principal Investment Strategies?
The Balanced Income Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will target an allocation of no more than 75% and no less than 25% of its total assets in equity securities and no less than 25% of its total assets in fixed income securities. With regard to the Funds equity securities, Davenport & Company LLC (the Advisor) looks for companies that have established business models, attractive valuations, a history of dividend payment and growth, and/or dividend growth potential. The Funds fixed income securities are used to enhance current income and to provide stability. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any duration, maturity or quality rating.
The Advisor attempts to control risk through diversification among major market sectors, but may overweight a position or a sector that is believed to have favorable prospects. The Advisor does not limit the Funds equity securities to any particular capitalization requirement. At any time, the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in small, unseasoned companies.
The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs to increase the Funds exposure to the broad market or to industry sectors without purchasing a large number of individual securities. Such ETFs will typically hold a portfolio of securities designed to track the performance of a particular index or market sector. ETFs differ from traditional mutual funds in that their shares are listed on a securities exchange and can be traded intraday.
The Fund may invest in equity and debt obligations of foreign issuers when, in the Advisors opinion, such investments would be advantageous to the Fund and help the Fund achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest in ETFs that invest primarily in common stocks or debt obligations of foreign companies, including regional and/or country specific ETFs.
1
Equity Securities. The Advisor seeks to identify companies that may be undervalued because they are currently out of favor with the market or temporarily misunderstood by the investment community. The Advisor will assess the sustainability of a companys dividend payments by analyzing its dividend history, its competitive position and industry dynamics. The Advisor uses a bottom-up stock selection approach that focuses primarily on individual companies in the context of broader market factors. In selecting equity investments for the Fund, the Advisor will focus on companies that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
● | attractive valuation based on intrinsic, absolute and relative value |
● | attractive dividend yield |
● | history of growing dividends with the likelihood of sustainable dividend growth |
● | an attractive business model, sound balance sheet and a disciplined management team |
The Fund may invest in special situation companies facing near-term headwinds but with favorable prospects for recovery. Special situations may include significant changes in a companys allocation of its existing capital (companies undergoing turnarounds, spin-offs, mergers or acquisitions) or a restructuring of assets. Special situations may also result from significant changes to an industry through regulatory developments or shifts in competition, new or improved products, changes in senior management or significant changes in cost structure.
The Fund may also invest in the equity securities of master limited partnerships (MLPs). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships that often own several properties or businesses (or directly own interests). MLPs are generally related to the real estate development and oil and gas industries, but may also finance other projects or provide financial services. By confining their interests to specific activities, MLP interests or units are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like shares of a corporation, without entity level taxation.
An equity security will be sold when the Advisor believes it no longer has the potential for capital appreciation, when it meets its targeted price, when the fundamentals of the issuers business or general market conditions have changed, when more attractive opportunities become available, or when strong performance has resulted in an outsized position.
Fixed Income Securities. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of all types, including, but not limited to, government and government-related securities, mortgage and asset-backed securities, corporate and municipal bonds and floating rate securities. The Fund will invest primarily in investment grade fixed income securities, but may invest in non-investment grade fixed income securities. Investment grade fixed income securities are securities that are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by any nationally recognized rating agency or unrated securities determined to be investment-grade quality by the Advisor. Non-investment grade fixed income securities, often referred to as junk bonds, are rated below the four highest rating categories.
The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity or duration. The Fund will calculate its effective duration by using each securitys nearest call date or maturity, whichever comes first. Duration is the measure of the Funds sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates move up one percentage point (1%) while the Funds duration is 4 years, the share price on the Funds fixed income securities would be expected to decline by 4%.
The proportion of the Funds investments held in various fixed income securities will vary depending upon economic trends, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and sector analysis. In selecting fixed income securities, the Advisor will consider factors such as interest rate trends, yield curve analysis, credit ratings, liquidity, duration, and appreciation potential. A fixed income security will be sold when it no longer meets the Advisors criteria for investment or when a more attractive investment is available.
What are the Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund?
The Balanced Income Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. During a general downturn in the securities markets, the prices of both equity and fixed income investments may decline simultaneously. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. As with any mutual fund investment, there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk. The return on and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Stocks tend to move in cycles and may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets based on negative developments in the U.S. or global economies. Stocks and other equity securities are subject to inherent market risks and fluctuations in value due to earnings and other developments affecting a particular company or industry, stock market trends and general economic conditions, investor perceptions, interest rate changes and other factors beyond the control of the Advisor. The price of a companys stock may decline if the company does not perform as expected, if it is not well managed, if there is a decreased demand for its products or services, or during periods of economic uncertainty or stock market turbulence. Economies and financial markets throughout the world have become interconnected which increases the possibility that economic, financial, or political events in one country, sector or region could have potentially adverse effects on global economies or markets. Russias military invasion of Ukraine, the responses and sanctions by other countries, and the potential for wider conflicts, could continue to have adverse effects on regional and global economies, and may further strain global supply chains, and negatively affect global growth and inflation. Policy changes by the U.S. government and or Federal Reserve and political events within the U.S. and abroad, such as changes in the U.S.
2
presidential administration and Congress, may affect investor and consumer confidence, and adversely impact the financial markets. Even investments in high quality or blue chip stocks can be negatively impacted by poor overall market and economic conditions. Investing in special situation companies carries an additional risk of loss if the expected development does not occur or produce the intended results.
Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes and tsunamis, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and the markets. For example, the outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, and efforts to contain its spread, have resulted, and may continue to result in labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand for certain products and services, and significant disruptions to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies, sectors, industries, interest rates and investor sentiment.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks that may be different from those of U.S. securities, including the risk that foreign economies may be less stable than the U.S. economy. Foreign securities may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards, practices or requirements comparable to those found in the United States. Foreign security issuers may also be subject to political, economic, or market instability; unfavorable government action in their local jurisdictions; or economic sanctions, tariffs, trade agreements or other restrictions imposed by U.S. or foreign regulators. In addition, the dividends payable on certain of the Funds foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Foreign securities may also be subject to foreign currency risk, which is the risk that the value of a foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the securitys underlying foreign currency. Multinational companies with foreign business operations can be significantly impacted by political, economic and regulatory developments in foreign markets.
Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may emphasize investment in one or more particular business sectors at times, which may cause its share price to be more susceptible to the financial, market or economic events affecting issuers and industries within those sectors than a fund that does not emphasize investment in particular sectors. Economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund. The sectors that the Fund may emphasize will vary from time to time.
Market Capitalization Risk. The Fund may emphasize investment in a particular market capitalization, which may cause its share price to be more susceptible to the financial, market or economic events affecting issuers within that market capitalization. Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, have
fewer opportunities to expand the market for their products or services, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies. Mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap companies may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and other competitive strengths of larger companies. In many instances, the securities of small and micro-cap companies are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies.
MLP Risk. Investments in securities of MLPs involve certain risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to a common unit holders limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLPs general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partners right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. Certain MLP securities may experience limited trading volumes and abrupt or erratic price movements at times. MLPs are considered to be interest-rate sensitive and may not provide attractive returns during periods of interest rate volatility.
MLPs that operate in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including fluctuations in commodity prices, reduced consumer demand for commodities, extreme weather or natural disasters, regulatory changes, threats of terrorist attacks on energy assets, changes in regulations, or depletion of energy reserves.
Fixed Income Risk. The value of the fixed income securities held by the Fund will fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including: general bond market conditions, interest rates, the maturity of the security, the creditworthiness of an issuer and the liquidity of the security. At times there may be an imbalance of supply and demand in the fixed income markets, which could result in greater price volatility, less liquidity, wider trading spreads and a lack of price transparency.
● | Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Funds fixed income securities will generally vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rate movements. Interest rate changes may be influenced by government and central banking monetary policy, inflation expectations, general economic conditions and supply and demand. Generally when interest rates rise, the value of the Funds fixed income securities can be expected to decline. The longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater its sensitivity to interest rate changes. Although interest rates have been unusually low for a number of years, the Federal Reserve recently began to increase interest rates, in part to address the increase in the annual inflation rate. Potential changes in government policy affecting interest rates may cause fixed income securities to experience a heightened level of interest rate risk than has historically been the case, due to the prolonged period of low interest rates and the markets reaction to the Federal Reserves initiatives. |

● | Maturity Risk. The value of the Funds fixed income securities is also dependent on their maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a fixed income security, the greater the effect a change in interest rates may have on its share price. Thus, the Funds sensitivity to interest rate risk will increase with any increase in the Funds overall duration. |
● | Credit Risk. The value of the Funds fixed income securities is also dependent on the ability of the issuer to make timely payments of principal or interest on the obligation. Nearly all fixed income securities are subject to credit risk, which may vary depending upon whether the issuer is a corporation, domestic or foreign government, or government agency. A deterioration in the financial condition of an issuer, or a deterioration in general economic conditions could cause an issuer to fail to pay principal and interest when due. Corporate debt obligations rated in the fourth highest category by a nationally recognized rating agency have speculative characteristics and changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest than is the case with higher grade securities. Lower rated fixed income securities are considered to have speculative characteristics in their continuing ability to repay principal and interest, when due. They may possess a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuers creditworthiness or the markets perceptions of an issuers creditworthiness. The issuers of these securities may not be as financially secure as the issuers of higher rated securities. |
● | Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a limited market for a security may make it difficult for the Fund to sell that security at an advantageous time or price. Liquidity risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds or ETFs may be higher than normal. The capacity of traditional dealers to engage in fixed income trading has not kept pace with the fixed income markets growth, causing dealer inventories to be at or near historical lows relative to market size. Lower rated securities and foreign debt securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk due to the lack of an active market and a reduced number of market participants. |
● | Government Securities Risk. U.S. Government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, depending upon whether the securities are supported by full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, only by the credit of the issuing U.S. Government agency, instrumentality or corporation or otherwise supported by the United States. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. The |
maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources and it is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In such a case, the Fund would have to look principally to the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment, and the Fund may not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. Government itself in the event the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise does not meet its commitment. Concerns about the capacity of the U.S. Government to meet its obligations may negatively impact the value of U.S. Government securities held by the Fund. The guarantee of the U.S. Government does not extend to the yield or value of the U.S. Government securities held by the Fund or to the Funds shares. |
● | Mortgage-Related Securities Risk. Mortgage-related securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, depending on whether they are issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (including those whose securities are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. Government) or by non-governmental issuers. Securities issued by private organizations may not be readily marketable and subject to greater illiquidity risk. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates and early repayment on such securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. |
● | Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Asset-backed securities are backed by assets such as credit card, automobile or consumer loan receivables, retail installment loans, or participations in pools of leases. Credit support for these securities may be based on the structural features such as subordination or overcollateralization and/or provided through credit enhancements by a third party. Asset backed securities may be affected by factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the receivables, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit or other credit enhancements or the markets assessment of the quality of the underlying security. |
● | Risks Associated with Credit Ratings. A credit agencys rating represents the agencys opinion as to the credit quality of a security but is not an absolute standard of quality or guarantee as to the creditworthiness of an issuer. Ratings of nationally recognized rating agencies present an inherent conflict of interest because such agencies are paid by the entities whose securities they rate. The credit rating of a security does not necessarily address its market risk (that is, the risk that the value of a security will be adversely affected due to movements in the overall financial markets or changes in the level of interest rates). In addition, ratings may not be revised promptly to reflect developments in the issuers financial condition. |
4
ETF Risk. An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional investment company, including the risk that the general level of security prices owned by the ETF may decline, thereby affecting the value of the shares of the ETF. In addition, ETFs are subject to certain risks that do not apply to conventional open-end mutual funds, including the risk that the market price of an ETFs shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value, or that an active trading market for an ETFs shares may not be developed or maintained. An ETF is managed independently of the Fund and is subject to the risks of the underlying securities it holds or sectors that the ETF is designed to track. When the Fund invests in an ETF, Fund shareholders will indirectly pay a proportionate share of the management fee and operating expenses of the ETF, in addition to the Funds direct fees and expenses.
Management Risk. The Advisors method of security selection may not be successful and the securities in the Funds portfolio may not perform as well as the market as a whole. The assumptions by which the Advisor bases its allocation among fixed income and equity securities may not produce the intended results and the Funds portfolio securities may not appreciate in value as expected. The allocations among equity and fixed income securities may limit the Funds potential for capital appreciation relative to a Fund that invests primarily in equity securities and may contribute to greater volatility than a Fund that invests primarily in fixed income securities.
What has been the Funds Performance History?
The bar chart and performance table shown below provide some indication of the risks and variability of investing in the Balanced Income Fund. The bar chart shows the Funds performance for each full calendar year of the Funds operations.
