The Indianapolis-based Auer Growth Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks traded on major U.S. exchanges that the advisor believes present the most favorable potential for capital appreciation. In selecting stocks for the Fund’s portfolio, the advisor reviews public companies’ financial statements to determine those companies that report substantial sales and earnings growth over the prior twelve months, plus a price to earnings ratio that has decreased substantially during that time. After identifying these growth stocks, the advisor focuses its review on secondary criteria including, but not limited to, earnings per share growth, earnings outlook, competitive position, and the balance sheet of each individual company. The advisor typically purchases common stocks of companies that have a relatively low price to earnings ratio, as such ratio is determined by the advisor.
