Overview

Scout Investments, Inc. is the subadviser to the Carillon Scout Mid Cap Fund and an affiliate of Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. the Investment Adviser.

The Scout Mid Cap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital while aiming to consistently outperform the Russell Midcap^® Index throughout a full market cycle (three to five years) with less than commensurate risk.

We believe actively managing a portfolio of attractively valued, high-quality mid-cap companies which we expect to benefit from company specific or macro catalysts, can generate superior long-term risk-adjusted relative performance.

Investment Process

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities of mid-cap companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities (convertible or exchangeable into common stocks), rights, warrants and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in mid-cap equity securities. Mid-cap equity securities are securities issued by companies with market capitalizations within the range of the largest and smallest companies in the Russell Midcap^® Index at the time of purchase.

A Word about Risk

Mid-cap and small-cap stocks may temporarily fall out of favor or perform poorly relative to other types of investments. While stocks of mid-cap companies may be slightly less volatile than those of small-cap companies, they still involve substantial risk.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) may be affected by economic conditions including credit risk, interest rate risk and other factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate.

Foreign investments present additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political factors, government regulations, differences in accounting standards and other factors. Investments in emerging markets involve even greater risks.

Groups of stocks, such as value and growth, go in and out of favor, which may cause certain funds to underperform other equity funds.

The Fund may, at times, experience higher-than-average portfolio turnover, which may generate significant taxable gains and increased trading expenses, which, in turn, may lower the Fund’s return.

Investments in the securities of other investment companies, including money market funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (which may, in turn invest in equities, bonds, and other financial vehicles), may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses.
