What Set's Us Apart
Appreciation and Resiliency Strategy, plus a Tax-Savvy Structure
- For investors attracted to the less-volatile, conservative tone a portfolio of high-quality companies exhibiting dividend growth can provide—plus a beneficial structure for wealth preservation and wealth creation as it relates to tax control.
- The Fund began operations in 1974. The Fund is managed today by an experienced team—the INNOVA group—utilizing a tax savvy, dividend growth strategy. The Portfolio Manager, Dr. Vijay Chopra, is a Chartered Financial Analyst with over 30 Years of industry experience.
- Because the Fund is structured as a C-Corp versus the typical mutual fund Regulated Investment Company (RIC) structure, RECs pass through taxes for capital gains, dividends, or interest earned to individual investors, the Fund may be subject to lower tax rates than an individual investor.
- The Fund trades each day at Net Asset Value as it is continuously offering shares for purchase and redemption with a common Open-end mutual fund structure.
- The Fund has wisely set aside a reserve fund to cover taxes on sales of appreciated securities, many with material imbedded capital gains due to the success of the Fund’s investment process for over three decades.

Risk/Return Analysis
When making investment decisions, investors should consider what we feel is unique tax characteristics related to the accrual of deferred taxes. The Fund is required to include deferred taxes in calculating its expense ratio even though they are not currently payable. The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio after advisory fee waiver and without the inclusion of net regular and deferred taxes is 0.72%.
Because the Fund accumulates rather than distributes its income, the Fund may be subject to the imposition of the Federal accumulated earnings tax. In the event an accumulated earnings tax would be assessed against the Fund, such assessment would decrease the net assets of the Fund and have a proportionate negative effect on each shareholder’s account.
