Is This Fund For You?

Craig Basinger and his team actively manage the fund’s asset allocation and rebalancing, adjusting exposures as market conditions and opportunities evolve. The fund is designed to serve as a one-stop, growth-oriented portfolio for investors who are comfortable accepting greater market fluctuations in pursuit of higher long-term return potential.
