Investment Policy
The Turner Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as Turner Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund) invests primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies with large market capitalizations (i.e., over $5 billion) that Turner Investment Partners believes have strong earnings growth potential. The Fund may also purchase securities of smaller companies that offer growth potential. The Fund will invest in securities of companies that are diversified across economic sectors and will attempt to maintain sector concentrations that approximate those of its current benchmark, the Russell Top 200 Growth Index. Portfolio exposure is generally limited to 5% of assets in any single issuer, subject to exceptions for the most heavily weighted securities in the Russell Top 200 Growth Index.

Investment Process
The Turner Large Cap Growth Fund's investment process involves the use of three tools to evaluate stocks for investment or continued ownership:

  • a proprietary computer model, used to screen candidates for investment according to numerous earnings-growth and valuation factors. Companies thus screened are ranked from the first percentile (most attractive) to the 100th percentile (least attractive). Those ranked in the top 35% qualify for further consideration.

  • fundamental analysis, used to ascertain if the companies we follow will exceed, meet, or fall short of consensus earnings expectations.

  • technical analysis, used to evaluate trends in trading volume and prices of individual stocks.
Altogether, stocks that rate favorably according to the three tools may be purchased. Conversely, stocks that rank unfavorably in those criteria either aren't purchased or, in the case of holdings, are sold.

Risk Disclosure

The performance data quoted represents past performance and the principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown here. Please call 800.224.6312 or visit our website www.turnerinvestments.com for performance current to the most recent month end. Returns shown, unless otherwise indicated, are total returns, with dividends and income reinvested. Returns spanning more than one year are annualized. Fee waivers are in effect; if they had not been in effect performance would have been lower.

Past performance can vary over short periods. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Since it purchases equity securities, including common stocks, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments, and the prices of these companies' securities may decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, common stocks represent a share of ownership in a company, and rank after bonds and preferred stock in their claim on the company's assets in the event of liquidation.

The Fund is also subject to taxable income and realized capital gains. Shareholder redemptions may force the Fund to sell securities at an inappropriate time, also resulting in realized gains.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility.

In addition, because it focuses only on U.S. growth companies, the Fund generally will hold fewer stocks in larger percentage amounts than funds that are more broadly diversified and with a different focus. By investing in different sectors and capitalization ranges, Turner seeks to reduce the Fund's overall level of volatility. Ideally, when one sector or capitalization range is out of favor, the other ranges will offer a counterbalancing influence.

The Fund may participate in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). Some successful IPOs may have a significant impact on the Fund's performance, especially if the Fund has lower asset levels. There is no guarantee that there will be successful IPOs, or that the Fund will have access to successful IPOs. In addition, as Fund assets grow, the positive impact of successful IPOs on Fund performance tends to decrease.

The Fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional tax liabilities.
