We are pleased to announce that effective January 26, 2007 The Texas Capital Value Funds has become Empiric Funds, Inc. The fund management team and the Fund’s Board of Directors believe that the name “Empiric” better reflects the disciplined, engineered investment approach the Advisor uses to manage the Fund. Additionally, the CUSIPs and Tickers change as follows:

		NEW		OLD
Fund Complex		Empiric Funds, Inc.		Texas Capital Value Funds, Inc.
Fund Name		Empiric Core Equity Fund		Texas Capital Value & Growth Portfolio
Class “A” CUSIP		62827M862		882241102
Class “A” Ticker		EMCAX		TCVGX
Class “C” CUSIP		62827M854		882241508
Class “C” Ticker		EMCCX		TCCGX

 

The Empiric Core Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The advisor utilizes a backtested multi-variant stock ranking system to rank constituents of the Russell 2500 on a daily basis. The advisor identifies stocks likely to produce "excess" returns, or "alpha" across the Russell 2500 universe. In order to conduct this level of in-depth analysis, Empiric has spent 15 years developing several computer models that employ this systematic process. We’ve found this approach to be particularly effective at capturing contradictory information, identifying shifts in investor preferences, and pinpointing undervalued areas of the market. 

 

Investors in this fund should be aware of the fund’s long-term capital appreciation focus, and that the fund’s approach may cause it to shift within fund listings such as Morningstar. This fund may be suited to investors who are looking for long-term capital appreciation and are familiar with the risks associated with small and mid sized companies such as those in the Russell 2500.
