MIDAS SPECIAL
FUND invests aggressively
for solely capital appreciation.
The
Fund exercises a flexible strategy in the selection of securities,
and will not be limited by the issuer’s location, size,
or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in equity and
fixed income securities of new and seasoned U.S. and foreign
issuers with no minimum rating, and may employ aggressive
and speculative investment techniques, such as selling securities
short and borrowing money for investment purposes, a practice
known as “leveraging” and may invest defensively
in short term, liquid, high grade securities and money market
instruments.
To achieve
the Fund’s objective, the investment manager may use
a seasonal investing strategy to invest the Fund’s assets
to gain exposure to the securities markets during periods anticipated
to be favorable based on patterns of investor behavior as driven
by and related to accounting periods, tax events and other
calendar related phenomenon.
Midas Special
Fund is subject to the Principal Risks associated with:
- Market fluctuations
