Model Funds

TAB Track Fund
INCEPTION (09/21/2013)	AVG. ANNUAL RETURN	S&P RETURN
4 YRS	9.42%	13.46%
Show Fund Strategy
The fund invests in both U.S. and foreign stocks, with a bias toward companies classified as large cap growth. The fund can hold equity securities in any number of sectors, and does not purposely strive for sector diversification. Its focus on selecting only a small number of high quality companies at prices significantly less than their intrinsic values, provides opportunities for meaningful long-term capital appreciation. Cash balances can provide considerable portfolio flexibility in volatile market conditions, and the fund will generally prefer to maintain a larger cash position when stock prices are trending higher and deploying cash at times when stock prices are attractively lower.
