• THE MONETTA YOUNG INVESTOR FUND (“YOUNG INVESTOR FUND ”) SEEKS LONG-TERM CAPITAL GROWTH.
Most investment managers are not willing to acknowledge the fact that it is difficult to consistently exceed index fund returns. According to Travis Morien, an independent financial planner, “…it is mathematically impossible for everyone to be above average. No matter what the average is, there must always be a distribution such that half of all people (or in the case of investing, the managers of half of all invested dollars) would be below average”. Historically, index funds have outperformed roughly three quarters of all active investment managers, after fees. On average, over the past 15 years ending 12/31/09, active large cap fund managers underperformed the S&P 500 Index by approximately 3% per year1. The major cause of underperformance relative to the index are the management fees and the cost of trading an active portfolio. Trading costs are not included in a fund's expense ratio, however,these costs can represent as much as 1.6% annually based on a fund turnover of 100%. Accordingly, Monetta believes that to generate long-term returns that seek to exceed the index, a symbiotic investment approach is required that combines an active and passive investment approach. • THE FUND APPROACH IS FOCUSED ON CONTROLING RISK BY MINIMIZING MARKET TIMING AND STOCK SELECTION DECISIONS The Young Investor Fund (YIF) employs a "core-plus" investment approach. The Fund invests approximately 50% of its assets in low cost Exchange Traded Funds ("ETF's") or other funds that seek to track the S&P 500 Index. The remaining assets of the Fund are primarily invested in large capitalization equity stocks of individual companies which the Adviser considers high quality, well known companies that produce products or provide services that are recognized by most investors, including children and teenagers. In selecting individual stock investments, emphasis is placed on those companies that the Adviser believes to have above average long-term growth potential, a history of growth, an established and experienced management team and a strong balance sheet.
