Investment Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund invests primarily in equity securities of foreign and domestic companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued, and in fixed income securities. The Fund will normally hold both equity securities and fixed income securities, with at least 25% of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities.

Equity securities that the Fund will principally invest in are common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that invest primarily in equity securities. Some or all of the equity portion of the Fund may be invested in small and micro capitalization companies. Fixed income securities that the Fund will principally invest in are U.S. government securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds and/or sovereign bonds of any maturity, as well as ETFs that invest primarily in such securities. Any non-US government securities in the Fund's portfolio will consist primarily of issues rated "Baa2" or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or "BBB" or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") and unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent quality, as well as high quality money market instruments. The Fund will attempt to provide total return in excess of the rate of inflation over the long term (3 to 5 years)

*** Since Inception GLRBX 7/1/91; GLRIX, Balanced Blend and Prior Balanced Blend 3/2/09. VettaFi benchmarks incepted after GLRBX; consequently, Balanced Blend benchmark data is not available going back to GLRBX inception. (a)Indicates total annual fund operating expenses.

† Prior to 5/1/23 the blended benchmark had consisted of 25% weighting in the Russell 1000® Index, a 25% weighting in the Russell 2000® Index and a 50% weighting in the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The average annual total returns assume reinvestment of income, dividends and capital gains distributions and reflect changes in net asset value. You should note that the James Advantage Funds are professionally managed mutual funds while the indices are unmanaged, do not incur expenses and are not available for investment.
