Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Vice Fund is non diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The Fund invests in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.</b

Morningstar Disclosure
For each fund with at least a three –year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating TM (based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance, including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Vice Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S. domiciled Large Blend funds over the following time periods: 1723 funds in the overall period, 1723 funds in the last three years and 1371 funds in the last five years. With respect to these Large Blend funds, Vice Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 5 stars, 4 stars, and 5 stars for the overall, three and five year periods, respectively, as of 3/31/09.

The past performance of the Vice Fund and it’s President Eric Lansky are stellar. Met Eric in person at Tobacco Plus Expo in New Orleans and did my due diligence on fund and him. Anybody in tobacco who is smart enough to invest his money/knowledge in his own industry and who is sincere and serious about his financial security and future should take one earnest look at the Vice Fund and especially its ‘Tobacco’ portion.
