The Forward Legato Fund invests primarily in
small cap U.S. companies and employs a "multi-manager" approach
allocating portions of the Fund to different sub-advisors who employ
growth, value and core investment styles.
Growth emphasizes investments in equity securities
of companies with above-average earnings and growth prospects
Value emphasizes investments in equity securities
of companies that appear to be undervalued relative to their
intrinsic value, based on earnings, book value or cash flow
Core emphasizes investments in equity securities
of companies from the broad equity market rather than focusing
on the growth or value segments of the market
The Forward Legato Fund is not registered for sale in all states.
