Stratton Multi-Cap Fund (SMCF)
may be for investors who desire an investment that focuses on growth and income and are investing for retirement or other long-term goals.

We focus on common stocks of companies with strong cash flow. Companies often share excess cash flow by paying above-average dividends to shareholders. We look at characteristics such as strong dividend growth rates and healthy dividend coverage when selecting potential buy candidates. We believe that companies that consistently strive to increase their dividends tend to offer the potential of above-average returns. Fundamental analysis is conducted on other important characteristics such as the earnings outlook, management strengths, and industry competitive position.

We also believe that undervalued companies with good earnings prospects have superior appreciation potential with reasonable levels of risk. Value stocks are stocks that appear to be under-priced based on traditional measures such as lower price-to-earnings ratios and price-to-book ratios.

Stratton Monthly Dividend REIT Shares
(SMDS) may be for investors who desire an investment that focuses on income and are investing for retirement or other long-term goals.

The Fund is managed to provide a high level of monthly income to its shareholders and therefore looks for companies that have strong dividend payouts. The Fund needs higher yielding securities to attempt to maintain its dividend payout. Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITs satisfy this income requirement, while also offering the potential for dividend growth and capital appreciation.

REITs were created to enable investors to participate in the benefits of owning income-producing real estate. REITs own many different types of properties, such as apartment complexes, office buildings, hotels, health care facilities, shopping centers and shopping malls.

Real Estate Funds may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry or geographic sector. Risks include declines in value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers.

Stratton Small-Cap Value Fund
(SSCV) may be for investors who desire an investment that focuses on capital appreciation; are willing to accept more market risk in return for the potentially higher returns that may come from investing in small-cap companies; and are investing for retirement or other long-term goals.

The Fund invests in small-cap companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, that are below the market capitalization of any stock in the Russell 2000 Index.

These stocks are of well-established U.S. companies that we believe are undervalued. We believe that undervalued companies with good earnings prospects have superior appreciation potential with reasonable levels of risk. Value stocks are stocks that appear to be under-priced based on traditional measures such as lower price-to-earnings ratios and price-to-book ratios.

Small company stocks are generally riskier than large company stocks due to greater volatility and less liquidity.
