Then the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund


May Capture Your Attention!
Designed to provide the potential for monthly income plus the opportunity to
grow your principal with lower volatility than the broad stock market.
During economic downturns or relatively flat markets, dividends can add to the total return of your investment. Of course, your
dividends can be taken in cash if you need help with living expenses, or they can be left in the portfolio and reinvested.
Historically, companies known for returning capital to investors in the form of dividends, reducing debt or buy-backs have been
rewarded with higher share prices. With cash balances at record levels and relatively low payout ratios, we believe theres clearly
room for companies to increase their dividends in the near future, providing additional income potential for investors to help
offset rising prices during times of inflation.
The Huntington Dividend Capture Fund may be a good choice if you are a risk-averse investor, yet still want to participate in the
growth potential of the stock market. Historically, stocks that pay reasonable dividends usually perform better than their nondividend paying peers. They also tend to have lower volatility than the broad stock market.
In addition, the Fund may invest in preferred stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS), which offer less traditional
income opportunities and greater diversification in the portfolio.

During economic downturns or relatively flat


markets, dividends can add to the total return
of your investment.

What Is Our Investment Process?


Focus on value.
The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying stocks that we believe
are undervalued or out of favor.

Rigorous selection process.


The Huntington Dividend Capture Fund manager follows a highly disciplined investment process, combining
quantitative and qualitative analysis along with fundamental research:


Begin with the S&P Composite 1500



Eliminate stocks that pay no dividend



Remove fundamentally unsound companies



Evaluate fundamental and technical factors to forecast probable return over 1-3 years



Overlay subjective analysis of management



Review how candidates fit within the portfolio as a whole



Invest in approximately 70-80 positions

A similar approach is used to select preferred shares and REITs.

Disciplined Dividend Capture Strategy


Purchases and Sells Are Timed to Capture Additional Income.
To add to the potential for income in the portfolio, we may strategically purchase
a stock very near the time it is scheduled to pay its quarterly dividend, selling it
soon afterward. While this strategy may increase portfolio turnover and result in
additional tax consequences, it can result in a concentrated dose of income.
Of course, these strategic purchases are subject to the same rigorous evaluation
process we use to select any stock for the Fund. This helps ensure that each
security we buy fits the Funds strategy.

real estate, either properties or mortgages.
Value stocks: Stocks considered to be trading at good prices relative to the companys fundamentals.
Options hedging: The practice of using option contracts to potentially offset the risk of adverse price movements of an individual holding or the
portfolio as a whole.

There are no guarantees that dividend paying stocks will continue to pay dividends. In addition, dividend paying stocks may not
experience the same capital appreciation potential as non-dividend paying stocks.
There is no guarantee that hedging strategies, including writing covered calls and other equity option strategies will succeed;
