* The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for funds with at least a 3-year history. (Exchange-traded funds and open-end mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes.) It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly excess performance (excluding the effect of sales charges, if any), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Analyst Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a mutual fund. Morningstar Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar’s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected. Rating, risk, and return values are relative to each fund’s Morningstar Category as of 6/30/24. The Morningstar Trailing Returns section of the Portfolio Snapshot Report shows the approximate returns an investor would have realized over the indicated time period, as well as how those returns compare to a benchmark index. Portfolio and benchmark returns are calculated by asset-weighting the monthly returns of the underlying holdings and thus reflect the pretax results an investor would have achieved by rebalancing the portfolio on a monthly basis. These same returns are used to calculate all returns-based statistics. Returns for individual holdings are trailing total returns. The FAM Small Cap Fund received 3yr and 5yr percentile ranks of 4 and 18 among 521 and 496 Small Growth funds, respectively. Visit Morningstar.com to see their methodology.

The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses and protecting a lifetime of savings has never been greater. Now more than ever, multi generational businesses and family businesses are under fire. That's why Family Enterprise USA is passionately working to increase the awareness of issues important to generationally-owned family businesses built on hard work, while continuing to strengthen our presence on Capitol Hill. The issues we fight for or against with Congress in Washington DC include high income tax rates, possible elimination of valuation discounts, increase in capital gains tax, enactment of a wealth tax, and the continued burden of the gift tax, estate tax and generation skipping tax.
Family Enterprise USA promotes generationally owned family business creation, growth, viability, and sustainability by advocating for family businesses and their lifetime of savings with Congress in Washington DC. Since 2007, Family Enterprise USA has represented and celebrated all sizes, professions and industries of family-owned enterprises and multi-generational employers. It is a bi-partisan 501.c3 organization. Family foundations can donate.
