SAM Flexible Income A (SAUPX) was incepted in July 1996. The investment seeks to provide a high level of total return, consisting of reinvestment of income with some capital appreciation.

The fund operates as a fund of funds and invests principally in underlying funds. It may invest up to 40% of assets in any single fixed-income fund as well as cash equivalents, no more than 30% of its net assets in equity funds, and may invest up to 30% of the assets in any single equity fund.

The fund offers dividends quarterly and capital gains annually. It has an expense ratio of 0.67%.

LargeCap Growth I A (OMSOX) seeks long-term growth of capital. The fund mainly invests in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations within the range of Russell 1000 Growth index.

The fund normally focuses on companies with an above-average rate of earnings and cash flow growth and a lucrative niche in the economy that gives them the ability to sustain earnings momentum even during times of slow economic growth. As of January 2009, its portfolio turnover was 64.50%.

Apple Inc. (AAPL), Juniper Networks Inc. (JNPR) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) are among the fund's key holdings.

High Yield A (CPHYX) invests primarily in high-yield, high-risk, junk bonds in search of a relatively high level of current income.

The fund invests normally at least 80% of net assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities rated lower than BBB by S&P or Fitch or rated lower than Baa by Moody's or of equivalent quality. Gary Pokrzywinski has managed the fund since its inception in April 1998.
