Philosophy & Process
The Fund uses a value investment approach to invest primarily in common stocks of mid-size companies. We believe that undervalued companies with good earnings prospects have superior appreciation potential with reasonable levels of risk. Quantitatively, we focus on a stock's fundamental valuation relative to its peers. Qualitatively, we seek to identify business catalysts which will serve to drive future earnings growth, increase investor interest and expand valuation.
Within the U.S. equity universe, it is our view that the mid-cap segment offers an attractive mix of growth and stability. Compared to smaller peers, mid-cap stocks are more likely to have proven business models and greater financial flexibility, yet in many cases, still have the potential for rapid growth. As a result, over longer periods of time, Mid-cap stocks have exhibited superior risk-adjusted returns versus both small caps and large caps.
Investment Considerations
Mid-size company stocks are generally riskier than large company stocks due to greater volatility and less liquidity. Value stocks can perform differently than other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

The performance of the Sterling Capital Mid Cap Relative Value Fund reflects the deduction of fees for value-added services associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The inception date for Class A Shares is 11.16.2015. The inception date for Class C Shares is 11.16.2015. The inception date for Class Inst'l Shares is 09.30.1972. The performance shown reflects the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. Performance is annualized for periods greater than one year.
The performance shown prior to 11.16.2015 is that of the Stratton Mid Cap Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") which reorganized into the Sterling Capital Mid Cap Relative Value Fund Institutional Shares (the Fund). Because the Fund had no investment operations prior to the closing of the reorganization, and based on the similarity of the Fund to the Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Fund is treated as the survivor of the reorganization for accounting and performance reporting purposes. The inception date of the Predecessor Fund is 09.30.1972.
Performance for Class A is based on the performance of the Institutional Shares of the Predecessor Fund. Class A Shares and Institutional Shares of the Fund would have substantially similar performance because the Shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the performance would differ only to the extent that the Classes have different expenses.
