A non-diversified fund, one that may concentrate its assets in fewer holdings than a diversified fund, is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. Investments are focused in the financial services industry; Sector funds may be subject to a higher degree of market risk. The Fund invests in medium sized companies, which may have limited liquidity and greater volatility compared to larger companies.

A Lipper Fund Award is awarded to one fund in each Lipper classification for achieving the strongest trend of consistent risk-adjusted performance against its classification peers over a three, five or ten-year period.
