"Going forward, we will be using new communication tools which we have utilized successfully over the last year to help speed up discovery by other investors of some of our most under-appreciated and undiscovered stocks in our portfolio."
"Our active management approach to investing continues to deliver superior returns to that of the Fund's benchmark and most major indices in 2021 by leveraging our keen ability to find the top companies exhibiting disruptive innovation and market success," said Benjamin Bratt, Vice President of Tanaka Capital Management as well as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of the TANAKA Growth Fund. "We believe that bottoms-up stock selection and finding undervalued companies early will be of increasing importance with the economic recovery transitioning from early to mid-cycle and our expectation for more modest stock market returns in the coming years."
