There are risks involved with mutual fund investing, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. There are risks associated with Mid Cap investing such as less liquidity, limited product lines, and small market share.

The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite 1500 (S&P1500) Index is a broad-based capitalization-weighted index comprising 1,500 stocks of Large-cap, Mid-cap, and Small-cap U.S. companies. Total returns for the unmanaged index include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but do not reflect the costs of managing a mutual fund. The Fund’s composition may differ significantly from the index. ICON Distributors^SM, Distributor ICON Distributors^SM, Distributor


Explanation of Terms
Alpha - The alpha coefficient is a measure of risk-adjusted return. This number represents the difference between the portfolio’s actual performance and the performance anticipated in light of the portfolio’s risk posture and the market’s behavior. A positive alpha indicates that the manager has been successful at security selection and has produced a rate of return which is more than commensurate with the portfolio’s risk posture.
Beta - The beta coefficient is a measure of a portfolio’s volatility relative to the market. An index relevant to the portfolio is used as the proxy for the market, and is considered to have a 1.00 Beta. Therefore, if the portfolio has a beta of 1.50, it has historically been 50% more volatile than the market for the periods shown.
Harmonic Average - The harmonic average is used when averaging ratios that may produce extreme results due to small relative numbers in the denominator, such as P/E, P/B, etc. The harmonic average by itself does not exclude extreme values (positive or negative), it simply reduces the impact of extreme observations on the aggregate calculation.
Price/Book Ratio is the ratio of a stock's price to its book value per share.
Price/Earnings Ratio is the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share.
Price/Sales Ratio is the ratio of a stock's price to its per-share sales.
R² - R² is a measure of diversification relative to the market, as represented by an index relevant to the portfolio’s stated investment category. It indicates, in precise percentage terms, just how closely a portfolio’s performance variation paralleled the market over the time period shown.
Sharpe Ratio - The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted performance calculated by dividing a portfolio’s excess return above a “risk-free” rate by its standard deviation. The 90-day Treasury-bill returns are used as the risk-free rate.
Standard Deviation - Standard deviation is a measure of a portfolio’s volatility, or variability in expected return. As such, it is a measure of risk since risk can be defined as the uncertainty of the expected return. Higher numbers indicated higher historical volatility. Standard deviation is most often used as a measure of risk relative to other portfolios or indexes, although it does not measure all aspects of investment risk.
