Paradigm Value Fund

important information

As is the case with most investments, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund invests in companies that appear to be “undervalued” in the marketplace (i.e., trading at prices below the company’s true worth). If the Fund’s perceptions of value are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund’s return. The Fund primarily invests in small capitalization companies (less than $2.5 billion). Small capitalization companies can be riskier investments than larger companies.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund before investing.

The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged index of small capitalization stocks with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values than the total population of small capitalization stocks whose composition is different from the Fund. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees, expenses or taxes. P/E Ratio is the market price per share divided by earnings per share. Price/Book Ratio is the market price per share divided by book value. Standard Deviation shows the degree of variation in the Fund’s returns and can serve as a useful measure of the Fund’s risk. It is measured using monthly observations, but expresses the result on an annualized basis. Market Capture Ratios is a statistical measure of the Fund’s overall performance in upmarkets (positive return periods) and down-markets (negative return periods). The market capture ratios are used to evaluate how well an investment performed relative to an index during periods when that index has risen or fallen. The ratio is calculated by dividing the Fund’s returns by the returns of the index during the up-market or the down-market, and multiplying that factor by 100.

Star ratings are based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The overall rating is a weighted average of the 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) returns. 5 Stars = top 10% of funds in a category; 4 stars = next 22.5% of funds; 3 stars = middle 35%; 2 stars = next 22.5%; 1 star = bottom 10%. A fund must be in existence three years to be rated. Ratings are subject to change monthly. As of 3/31/24, the Paradigm Value Fund had a 3-star rating for the 3-year period (584 funds), and a 3-star rating for the 5-year period (552 funds), and a 4-star rating for the 10-year period (384 funds) and a 4-star rating for the Overall period (584 funds). © 2010 Morningstar, Inc.
