What is the Funds Investment Objective?
The investment objective of the Davenport Insider Buying Fund (the Insider Buying Fund or the Fund) is long-term growth of capital.
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 | 0.34 | %(1) | ||
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.09 | % |
(1) | Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. |
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 | |
$111 | $347 |
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 period, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 2% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Funds Principal Investment Strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will generally invest in common stocks of companies that show strong capital appreciation potential, have strong and focused management, solid balance sheets and a history of proven results. In determining whether a company has the potential for appreciation, the Adviser will focus on several criteria, including, among other things:
● | insider buying of the companys stock by management and/or Board members; |
● | wide economic moat – the company has a competitive advantage that may be difficult to replicate; |
● | financial flexibility – the company has the ability to self-finance its growth through internally generated cash flow and to efficiently direct its free cash flow through capital expenditures, acquisitions, share buybacks, dividends, and/or debt paydown; |
● | above-average growth – the company has a favorable trajectory of revenue, earnings and cash flow growth versus the broader market, as measured by companies in the S&P 500® Index; |
● | above-average returns on capital – the company has the ability to generate above-average returns on equity, assets, or invested capital; and |
● | below average valuation – the companys shares are trading at a below-average valuation multiple on an absolute basis, or on a relative basis as measured by its competitors and/or companies in the S&P 500® Index. |
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser will focus, among other matters, on the amount of insider purchase activity in a company by a director, officer or executive within that company in an effort to discern if a company has favorable investment potential, based on the thesis that corporate insiders may know more about the prospects of a company than other investors. When considering the extent of insider purchase activity in a company, the Adviser uses public information from Securities and Exchange Commission filings on corporate insider buying and selling activities. In analyzing the buying and selling activities of corporate insiders, the Adviser considers various factors, such as the position of the insider within the company, possible motivations, trade volumes, and insider trading trends. The Adviser may also take into account the amount of insider ownership in a company by a director, officer or executive, as a secondary consideration.

The Adviser attempts to control risk through diversification among major market sectors, but at times, may emphasize a particular business sector. The Adviser does not limit the Funds investments to any particular market capitalization; however, the Fund typically expects to focus its investments in companies having a market capitalization of $5 billion or more at the time of purchase. The market capitalization of the companies in the Funds portfolio may fluctuate over time. The Fund is not required to sell the stock of a company if the companys market capitalization falls below $5 billion. At any time, the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in small, unseasoned companies.
The Fund may invest in shares of exchange traded funds (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 since their shares are listed on a securities exchange and can be traded intraday. 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. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in ETFs.
The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in common stocks of foreign issuers when, in the Advisers opinion, such investments would be advantageous to the Fund and help the Fund achieve its investment objective.
A security may be sold when the Adviser believes the security no longer has the potential for strong capital appreciation, when it meets its targeted price, when the fundamentals of the issuers business or general market conditions have changed, when strong performance has resulted in an outsized position for the security within the Funds portfolio, or when the Adviser believes more attractive opportunities become available.
What are the Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund?
The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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.
Common Stock 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, general economic and political conditions, investor perceptions, interest rate changes and other factors
beyond the control of the Adviser. 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. Natural or environmental disasters and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and the markets. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are 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. Even investments in high quality or blue chip stocks can be negatively impacted by poor overall market and economic conditions.
● | Recent Market Events. Periods of volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political and global macro factors. The ongoing effects of high inflation have resulted in lower purchasing power and slower global growth, while the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to control inflation have resulted in market volatility. The risks associated with tensions or open conflict between nations, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and eastern Asia, ongoing trade negotiations with China, or political dysfunction within some nations that are global economic powers, could affect the economies of many nations, including the U.S. Political conditions, including internal political discord, large expansion of government deficits and debt, routine elections, and government policy changes, may affect investor and consumer confidence, and adversely impact the financial markets. These and other events that may arise in the future could exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks in ways that cannot be predicted. |
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.
Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of investing in foreign securities may be different from those of U.S. securities, including the risks that foreign economies may be less stable than the U.S. economy, and foreign companies may not be subject to uniform audit and financial reporting practices or disclosure standards comparable to those in the United States. Foreign security issuers may be subject to political, economic, or market instability; tensions or open conflicts between nations; unfavorable government action in their local jurisdictions; or economic sanctions, tariffs, trade agreements or other restrictions imposed by U.S. or foreign regulators.

Foreign securities may 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. In addition, the dividends payable on certain of the Funds foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
Market Capitalization Risk. The Fund typically expects to focus its investments in companies having a market capitalization of $5 billion or more at the time of purchase, but may also invest in companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Funds share price may be more susceptible to the financial, market, or economic events affecting issuers within its 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. Multinational companies with foreign business operations can be significantly impacted by political, economic and regulatory developments in foreign markets. 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.
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 the sectors the ETF is designed to track.
Management Risk. The success of the Funds investment program depends largely on the Advisers skill in assessing a companys potential for capital appreciation and the Advisers ability to discern if insider purchase activity in a company has favorable investment potential. If the Advisers opinion about a companys capital appreciation or favorable investment potential based upon insider purchase activity is incorrect, a stock may not achieve the price appreciation anticipated by the Adviser and the securities in the Funds portfolio may not perform as well as the market as a whole or produce the intended results. A stock with capital appreciation characteristics may have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings.
