Commerce Value Fund Added to Charles Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource Select List®

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Commerce Value Fund^TM (CFVLX) has been named to Charles Schwab's ("Schwab®") Mutual Fund OneSource Select List for the first quarter of 2014. The Mutual Fund OneSource Select List is a list of no-load and no-transaction fee mutual funds that have passed rigorous screening for performance, risk, and expenses by the Charles Schwab Investment Advisory, Inc.

"We are excited and honored to have been added to the Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource Select List. We appreciate the thorough and detailed selection process at Schwab and look forward to the opportunity,” says Portfolio Manager Matt Schmitt.

The Commerce Value Fund investment objective is to seek capital appreciation, and secondarily, current income. Using a predominately quantitative analysis, with some additional fundamental analysis depending on market conditions, the Fund invests principally in stock of companies that are selling below fair market value compared to their future potential. The Fund seeks a higher return than the Russell 1000® Value Index (“Index”) over time as the stocks it purchases rise in price to more normal valuations. The Fund utilizes a diversified portfolio with value characteristics (low price/book and price/earnings ratios) to achieve capital appreciation and current income. As of December 31, 2013, the Commerce Value Fund's assets totaled $168.3 million.

More information on the Charles Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource Select List, as well as the full list of funds, can be found on the Mutual Funds page of the Charles Schwab website under OneSource Select List.

The OneSource Select List is provided for informational purposes and should not be considered as an individualized recommendation. Schwab produces the list quarterly to help investors navigate the vast number of funds available through Schwab and identify funds that might be appropriate for their portfolios.

The Fund is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions.

The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted index of the 1,000 largest U.S. companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
