Objectives and Strategies

The objective of the Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified holding of common stocks which appear to offer possibilities for long-term appreciation.

We expect that common stocks will continue to be the primary emphasis in the portfolio. Preference is given to holdings in high quality companies characterized by:

• Earnings that are reasonably predictable;
• Return on equity that is above average;
• Market dominance;
• Financial strength.

Because we believe that smaller capitalization companies provide somewhat higher returns over longer time frames, some emphasis is placed on companies that are generally located in the Upper Midwest region. These companies may be underowned by institutional investors.

The Fund seeks to:

• Keep its assets reasonably fully invested at all times.
  
• Maintain modest portfolio turnover rates.
