Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks a total return after expenses which exceeds over time the total return of the Russell 1000® Index. It seeks to obtain this objective while maintaining risk characteristics similar to those of the Russell 1000 Index and through investments in stocks that meet the Fund’s investment and social criteria.Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform because of the following risks: the stock market or the stocks in the Russell 1000 Index may decline in value; and/or the Fund’s portfolio management practices may not work to achieve their desired result. An index fund has operating expenses; a market index does not. The Fund, while expected to track its target index as closely as possible, will not be able to match the performance of the index exactly. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Strategy

CSIF Enhanced Equity follows an enhanced index management strategy. Instead of passively holding a representative basket of securities designed to match the Russell 1000 Index, the Advisor actively uses proprietary quantitative analytical models, as well as qualitative bottom-up research, to attempt to enhance the Fund's performance, relative to the Index. The Fund may purchase stocks not in the Russell 1000 Index, including foreign stocks not exceeding 25% of the Fund’s net assets, as well as smaller capitalization names. At least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in stocks that are in the Russell 1000 Index. Any investments not in the Index will meet the Fund’s social screening criteria and be selected to track the Index’s risk/return characteristics. The Advisor rebalances the Fund at least quarterly to maintain its relative risk exposures to the Index.

Glossary of Terms:

In Modern Portfolio Theory statistical calculations are applied to an investment strategy to seek to construct an optimal portfolio by considering the relationship between risk and return.

Alpha is a measure of the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the fund's underperformance, given the expectations established by the fund's beta.

Beta is a measure of portfolio risk relative to the market or benchmark. A portfolio beta of 1.0 indicates a risk level equal to that of the fund's benchmark.

R-Squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund's or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. R-squared values range from 0 to 100 percent. An R-squared of 100 percent means that all movements of a security are completely explained by movements in the index. A high R-squared (between 85 and 100 percent) indicates the fund's performance patterns have been in line with the index. A fund with a low R-squared (70 percent or less) doesn't act much like the index. A higher R-squared value will indicate a more useful beta figure. For example, if a fund has an R-squared value of close to 100 percent but has a beta below 1, it is most likely offering higher risk-adjusted returns.

Sharpe Ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance.

Standard Deviation is a useful measure of a fund's risk. For example, a fund with a standard deviation of 10 can be expected to produce an annual return that is within 10 percentage points (plus or minus) of its average annual return two-thirds of the time.

Excess Return is return in excess of the risk-free rate or in excess of a benchmark.

Information Ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return of a mutual fund as compared to its benchmark. The higher the Information Ratio of a Fund, the higher the active return of the Fund, given the amount of risk involved, and the more consistently the Fund manager beats the Fund's benchmark.
