The Morningstar RatingTM (“star rating”) is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded and open-end mutual funds are combined into 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, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each fund 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. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM is a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund’s 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics.
In the Mid-Cap Value category, Value Opportunities Fund was rated 5 stars among 383 funds for the 3 year period ending 6/30/2025, 5 stars among 358 funds for the 5 year period ending 6/30/2025, and 5 stars among 283 funds for the 10 year period ending 6/30/2025 based on risk-adjusted returns. Star ratings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean the fund had high or positive total returns. Morningstar updates its star ratings monthly.
