Investment Strategy: The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities (mostly common stocks) of smaller companies located anywhere in the United States. Any change in this 80% policy approved by the Board may not take effect until shareholders have received written notice of the change at least sixty (60) days before it occurs.
The Fund's Advisor normally invests the Fund's assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities that are selected based upon the Advisor's perception of their above-average potential for long-term growth of capital. While trying to maximize the growth potential of the Fund's portfolio of investments, the Advisor also seeks to obtain securities for the Fund that are selling at a reasonable valuation in view of their expected growth rate.
Effective July 2, 2001, UMB Scout Regional Fund, Inc. was reorganized as the UMB Scout Small Cap Fund.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on redemptions and exchanges made within two months of purchase of shares in the UMB Scout International Fund and the UMB Scout Small Cap Fund. Please see the prospectus for more information about the fee and which accounts it applies to.
Typical Investor: The Fund may be suitable for aggressive investors willing to accept short-term volatility in return for potential long-term high growth.
