Investment Strategy
The Westcore Select Fund invests primarily in the common stock of a limited number of medium-sized companies selected for growth potential.
We utilize the same research generated by our MIDCO Growth investment team to build a more concentrated mid-cap growth portfolio of 20 to 35 stocks. The portfolio consists of what we believe are attractively valued companies with near-term catalysts for superior earnings growth and compelling risk/return profiles.
This Fund is available in the retail class only.
Risk Profile
| (Low) |
(High) |
|
Investing in non-diversified funds generally will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in more diversified funds.
The risk profile spectrum provides an approximate illustration of the relative volatility of the Westcore Family of Funds determined by using each fund's 5-year annualized standard deviation as of 3/31/12. If the fund's retail class has less than five years of operations as of that date, the standard deviation of the fund's benchmark index is used instead. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the historical volatility of a fund, which we believe can assist in classifying a fund within a risk spectrum. The placement on the risk spectrum (Low to High) is based on the comparison of each Fund's standard deviation measure, as described above, in relation to the universe of funds with a 5-year standard deviation measure as obtained from a third-party fund database. We believe those measures are accurate but have not independently verified them. Please refer to the prospectus for each fund's specific risks. Also a fund's measure of volatility is subject to change without notice as market or economic conditions change, and such changes may include significant and nonrecurring volatility events. Historical volatility is not necessarily indicative of future volatility and there is no guarantee that in any time period any one fund will be more or less volatile than any other fund.
