At BPV, Two Hit Three

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The birthday candles are being lit at East Tennessee's BPV Capital Management (BPV), which announced today that two of its funds, BPV Core Diversification Fund (BPVDX) and BPV Wealth Preservation Fund (BPVPX), reached the three-year milestone this month.

Three is an important number, the noblest of all digits, according to Pythagoras. There's three strikes in baseball. The three point play in basketball. Three's a crowd...and a lucky number. And for mutual funds three years is considered a big deal, a threshold moment. Many mutual funds never celebrate a third birthday.

"This is an important milestone for each fund and for BPV as a family of funds," said Mike West, Senior Partner and CEO. "With a solid three-year track record, we believe the BPV Core Diversification Fund and the BPV Wealth Preservation Fund build a foundation for future growth and value to our investors."

The BPV Core Diversification Fund seeks to provide investors with a diversified portfolio in an attempt to protect against equity volatility and rising interest rates. The Fund was launched on October 5, 2011 and is managed by Miranda Davis.

The BPV Wealth Preservation Fund seeks controlled risk using a hedged equity strategy. It was also launched on October 5, 2011 and is managed by George Hashbarger, Jr.

This news follows a series of announcements from BPV, including the launch of two new funds: BPV Low Volatility Fund (BPVLX) and BPV Large Cap Value Fund (BPVAX). Additionally, over the past six months, BPV has announced several new hires across the country, consistent with its goal of expanding business regionally.

BPV ("Back Porch Vista) is focused on helping American families retire well.  The BPV Family of Funds includes the BPV Core Diversification Fund (BPVDX), the BPV Wealth Preservation Fund (BPVPX), the BPV Low Volatility Fund (BPVLX), and the BPV Large Cap Value Fund (BPVAX). The funds provide a range of potential solutions that apply a more conservative approach to time-tested investment principles.

Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Core Diversification Fund and BPV Wealth Preservation Fund

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. ETFs are subject to risk similar to those of stocks including those regarding short-selling and margin account maintenance. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. There is no assurance that this investment strategy will consistently lead to successful investing.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Investments in ETFs and other registered investment companies subject the Fund to pay its proportionate share of those funds' fees and expenses.

Commodity-related risks include production risks caused by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, and geologic and environmental factors. Furthermore, investments related to gold and other precious metals and minerals may fluctuate sharply over short periods of time and are considered speculative and are affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial, and political factors.

Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility.

Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Large Cap Value Fund

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

This fund is new and has limited operating history.

An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or all of the principal amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful in meeting its investment objective. Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following additional risks:

The share price of the Fund changes daily based on the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests, the selection of which is determined primarily by a quantitative model.

The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the quantitative model to measure accurately value indicators or other factors and appropriately react to current and developing market trends. There can be no assurance that the use of the quantitative model will enable the Fund to achieve positive returns or outperform the market, and if the quantitative model fails to accurately evaluate market risk or appropriately react to current and developing market conditions, the Fund's share price may be adversely affected. Securities prices can be volatile, and the value of securities in the Fund's portfolio may decline due to fluctuations in the securities markets generally.

The prices of equity securities will fluctuate – sometimes dramatically – over time, and the Fund could lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a particular issue.

Undervalued stocks include stocks that the Sub-Adviser believes are undervalued and/or are temporarily out of favor in the market. If these stocks are not undervalued, or they continue to be out of favor in the marketplace, then the Fund may suffer losses.

Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Low Volatility Fund

This fund is new and has limited operating history.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. ETFs are subject to risk similar to those of stocks including those regarding short-selling and margin account maintenance. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. There is no assurance that this investment strategy will consistently lead to successful investing.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Investments in ETFs and other registered investment companies subject the Fund to paying its proportionate share of those funds' fees and expenses.

The Fund's use of options involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. By investing in options, the Fund is subject to the risk of counterparty default, as well as the potential for unlimited loss.

Fixed income investments are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a specific issuer of a fixed income security may default on its obligations to security holders.

An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates may have a negative or adverse effect on an issuer's ability to timely make payments of principal and interest. Increases in interest rates typically lower the present value of a company's future earnings stream. Accordingly, bond prices will generally decline when investors anticipate or experience rising interest rates.
