The Funds investment objectives are long-term capital appreciation and current income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small market capitalization U.S. companies with value characteristics, defined as those trading below average price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-cash-flow, or price-to-sales ratios relative to the Russell 2000 Index. Day-to-day investment decisions are delegated to multiple sub-advisers; most employ fundamental analysis to identify undervalued companies with sustainable cash flows, while one sub-adviser uses a quantitative approach focusing on valuation metrics and price momentum. Because performance depends on the sub-advisers' security selections, the fund may diverge from the Russell 2000 Index.

How it has done
AVFIX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 13.70%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 7 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.82% | +39.34% | +63.14% | +48.44% | -21.59% | |
| 1.16% | +38.84% | +61.46% | +45.94% | -21.73% | |
| 1.31% | +38.66% | +60.75% | +44.85% | -21.79% | |
| 0.89% | +39.17% | +62.80% | +47.92% | -21.64% | |
| 1.24% | +38.77% | +61.11% | +45.45% | -21.75% | |
| 2.01% | +37.59% | +57.44% | +40.00% | -22.00% | |
| 0.79% | +39.32% | +63.25% | +48.66% | -21.61% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 8.65pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.73pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
