C000273645 Investment Objective and Strategy
Ave Maria Undiscovered Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Schwartz Investment Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Ave Maria Undiscovered Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the Ave Maria Undiscovered Fund invests primarily in equity securities (which include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks) that are believed to offer undiscovered value and the potential for long-term capital appreciation.

· Inflection Point of Change – The company is undergoing meaningful transformation such as the introduction of a new product, a change in leadership, or a regulatory shift that may drive unexpec
