Description of Strategy
The Fund intends to pursue its investment objective by investing in equity securities of companies with small or mid-sized market capitalizations. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest no less than 80% of its net assets in common stocks and other equity type securities (including preferred stock, convertible debt securities and warrants) of “small cap” or “mid cap” companies, which the Adviser currently defines as securities within the range of the Russell 2500® Value Index at the time of investment.
Investment Objective
The KEELEY Small-Mid Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Why Invest
The adviser applies a fundamental, bottom-up stock selection process. Most research is internal, focusing on companies in unique and transformative situations that Wall Street has not identified and capitalized upon. Potential investments generally fall under four major themes: 1) Ownership Changes, 2) Operating Changes, 3) Balance Sheet / Capital Restructurings and 4) Marketplace Shifts. Focus on change and restructuring provides a competitive advantage to identify inefficiencies in the marketplace before other investors.
