About CHCGX
The Chesapeake Growth Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of large U.S. companies. The fund targets the largest 1,000 U.S.-listed firms based on market capitalization, with an emphasis on businesses demonstrating strong earnings growth or those undergoing positive operational changes not fully recognized by the market. Portfolio selection is guided by a longstanding management team and employs a growth investment style, prioritizing companies with superior growth prospects and generally avoiding those with excessive debt. The fund typically maintains a concentrated portfolio, with over half its assets in its top ten holdings, and allocates a small portion to foreign stocks. Income distribution is not a primary concern, as reflected by a 0.0% dividend yield. With a relatively high expense ratio compared to peers and a long-term performance track record, the Chesapeake Growth Fund serves investors seeking exposure to large-cap growth equities across leading U.S. sectors, including technology, consumer cyclical, financial services, and industrials.

CHCGX had a total return of 8.17% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 6.48%.
