Steward Values-Focused Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund

The Steward Values-Focused Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund (TRDFX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Crossmark Global Investments, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in small- to mid-cap U.S. companies included in the S&P 1000 Index that pass its proprietary values-based screening process. The fund applies exclusionary screens to avoid companies materially involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, recreational cannabis, abortion-related activities, adult entertainment, or embryonic stem cell research, while also incorporating inclusionary screens to upweight companies exhibiting positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. With total net assets of approximately $192 million, the portfolio holds over 900 securities and is predominantly allocated to U.S. stocks across key sectors including industrials, financial services, and technology. The fund is available in multiple share classes, including Class A (TRDFX) with a net expense ratio of 0.83% and a 5.75% front-end load, and is co-managed by Rob Botard, CFA, and Andrew Cullivan under the Steward Funds, Inc. umbrella.
