Tocqueville Fund
Fund Objective
To achieve long-term capital appreciation
Investment Strategy
• Employ a bottom-up selection process based on fundamental security analysis.
• Seek to identify contrarian, value-oriented securities that are depressed in price, out of favor with investors and trading at a substantial discount to intrinsic value.
• Identify the most attractive risk/reward propositions across all market capitalizations largely based on free cash flow generation, balance sheet quality and the fundamental strength of a business franchise.
• Focus primarily on the securities of US issuers, but frequently invests in non-US issuers.

Performance data on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return 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. Average annual return reflects annualized change whereas total return reflects aggregate change, and is not annualized. The current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The above charts assume reinvestment of capital gains and dividends and are not intended to imply any future performance.
The S&P 500 Index is a market-value weighted index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. You cannot invest directly in an index.
There are special risks associated with investing in foreign securities, including: the value of foreign currencies may decline relative to the US dollar; a foreign government may expropriate the Fund’s assets; differences in accounting methods; and political, social or economic instability in a foreign country in which the Fund invests may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. The above listed risks associated with foreign securities are more likely in the securities of companies located in emerging markets.
Please consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund.
