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
