Thompson Plumb MidCap Fund - THPMX

MidCap Fund Investment Strategy


The MidCap Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of medium-sized companies that fall within the 12-month average of the capitalization ranges of stocks in the Russell Midcap Index, the Fund’s benchmark. Although market capitalizations are constantly changing, as of December 31, 2009, the Russell Midcap Index included companies with market capitalizations between $261 million and $15.5 billion. We also generally seek to identify investment opportunities in equity securities of companies that we believe have above-average potential for earnings and dividend growth. To achieve a better risk-adjusted return on its equity investments, the MidCap Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of companies, including companies from a blend of industries and style classes. The MidCap Fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses or reposition assets to more promising opportunities.

*The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse expenses incurred by the MidCap Fund through March 31, 2011 so that the annual operating expenses of that Fund do not exceed 1.30% of its average daily net assets. Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, the returns would be reduced.

Performance data quoted represents past performance: past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Midcap companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-capitalization companies.

The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index based on total market capitalization. You cannot invest directly in an index.
