Black Oak Emerging Technology Fund seeks long-term growth by investing in stocks of companies considered to be well positioned to become market leaders among "emerging" technology companies.

Black Oak seeks investments in companies that have the potential to develop or are expected to benefit from new technology or significant improvements or enhancements to existing technology. Current examples of emerging technology companies include those developing, producing, or distributing products or services related to computer networking, fiber optics and photonics, data storage, band-width enhancement, wireless and other communication technology, high speed voice, video and data transfer combinations, and health care technology.

The manager’s investment process begins with a top-down analysis of economic and industry sectors that he considers to have the best potential for emerging technology to drive long-term growth. He then focuses on the present or potential key performers in those areas, based on a highly subjective analysis of individual companies’ fundamental values such as earnings growth potential and the quality of corporate management. The investment process generally does not base stock selections on a company’s size but rather on its assessment of a company’s fundamental prospects for growth. Nonetheless, the Fund tends to own stocks of small to medium capitalization and may own stocks of new, less-established companies of any size.
