HISTORY

OUR BEGINNINGS

After running one of the earliest mutual funds focused exclusively on the emerging Internet economy, Ryan Jacob struck out on his own in 1999 to found the eponymous firm. Today, Jacob Asset Management (JAM) is based in Los Angeles, California, with offices in Hermosa Beach and New York. The firm provides investment solutions for both retail and institutional clients through three distinct mutual funds – Jacob Internet Fund (JAMFX), Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (JSCGX), Jacob Discovery Fund (JMCGX), and one exchanged traded fund – Jacob Forward ETF (JFWD).


With varied backgrounds and an average 25+ years of investment experience, JAM’s portfolio managers provide insights and expertise into the Internet and technology sectors, as well an increasing number of other industries. Fine-tuning a proprietary investment process over the years, JAM now offers funds which include a wide range of sectors and market capitalizations. But the goal at Jacob Asset Management remains what it was the first day Ryan Jacob opened the company’s doors: find unique, exciting and enduring companies that have the potential to create significant value for both the global economy and their investors.

Important Risk Information

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found by downloading the Mutual Funds Prospectus and ETF Prospectus or calling 888.522.6239 for a hard copy. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

There are risks inherent in investing in the Internet area, particularly with respect to smaller capitalized companies and the high volatility of internet stocks.

Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors.

The Internet Fund may invest in debt securities which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in micro-capitalization companies may involve greater risks, as these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. Microcap stocks often also have a more limited trading market, such that the Adviser may not be able to sell stocks at an optimal time or price. In addition, less frequently-traded securities may be subject to more abrupt price movements than securities of larger capitalized companies. The Small Cap Growth Fund invests in smaller companies, which involve additional risks, such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.

The Jacob Forward ETF also has the following risks: Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The risks of investing in foreign companies, including those located in emerging market countries, can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, less government regulation, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, including recordkeeping standards, and less stringent regulation of securities markets.

The Fund is actively managed. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by the Adviser will not produce the desired results. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with a limited operating history. Please see the Funds' prospectus for details of these and other risks.

Jacob Forward ETF has the same risks as the underlying securities traded on the exchange throughout the day. Redemptions are limited and often commissions are charged on every trade.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment loss.
