“We designed this Fund to track the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index,” explains portfolio manager and Homestead Funds president, Peter Morris. “The index is made up of the 100 largest and most actively traded, non-financial, and domestic and international stocks listed on the Nasdaq stock market.”

Because the share price of the Fund is likely to experience wide swings in value, it is suitable for investors who want the potential to deliver higher returns and have at least five or 10 years to recover from a possible setback in the Nasdaq stock market.
