Small/Mid Cap Growth Mutual Fund
(FKA Aggressive Growth)
Higher return potential for the investor who can afford increased risk
Timothy Plan’s Small/Mid Cap Growth (FKA Aggressive Growth) fund is, as its name states, a fund that seeks aggressive returns of capital. It is designed for the investor who can afford a higher level of risk, in the effort of achieving greater returns, or for the riskier portion of a proper asset allocation. The Small/Mid Cap Growth fund primarily acquires common stock, without regard to the size of the companies, focusing rather on the earnings potential.

Objective
The Fund's objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in common stocks and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) without regard to market capitalization and placing little or no emphasis on dividend income. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund's investment objective.
Strategy
Chartwell's growth equity investment philosophy is based on the belief that, over the long term, a company's earnings per share growth is the most significant determinant of long-term stock price appreciation. In light of this, Chartwell seeks out companies with catalysts for growth. In that pursuit, after considering the moral filters, the Fund invests in companies the manager believes will have revenue and earnings growth that exceed the economy as a whole. At any point in time, the Fund may have a significant portion of its portfolio invested in small-cap, large-cap, or mid-cap companies.
Risk & Strategy
We have created a worksheet to help you decide which funds might meet your investment needs, Asset Allocation Investor Worksheet. Answer the questions, then add your points to consider an appropriate strategy. The scale attempts to create a spectrum of the funds using a broad brush criteria of aggressiveness/risk. The scale and order of funds may not be accurate at any point in time, because as the markets shift and change, so will the relative positions of the funds. This should be considered as a general guideline and not a scientifically created/maintained analytical tool. You may want to consider a more aggressive or more conservative diversification than your score indicates.
Management of the Fund
Chartwell Investment Partners invest in large/mid cap and small cap US equities that demonstrate above-average growth in revenue, margins, and profits. This is done by looking for fundamentally strong companies (i.e., superior products and services) that are poised for growth (a strong team of managers and a scalable business model). Chartwell identifies these companies through bottom-up research and looks to see when the right stocks are attractively valued. Their seasoned investment team, with two senior portfolio managers and nine analysts, brings together an extensive knowledge base to the decision-making process.
