Choosing investments to support your financial objectives can be difficult. While many mutual funds and money managers follow a "growth stock" investment style, there is no generally accepted definition of a
growth stock and no easy way to select one. That's why Defined Asset Funds® developed a portfolio designed to provide definition and discipline to aggressive growth stock investing with our...
Select Growth Portfolio |

Growth Stock Investing If you're interested in adding aggressive growth stocks to your portfolio, the Select Growth Portfolio offers you a screened portfolio of ten stocks with just one investment. It is designed for investors whose primary objective is aggressive long-term growth with the potential for greater rewards over time, and who have the will and ability to withstand the extreme price volatility of aggressive growth stocks. The Screening Process Netfolios, Inc. (formerly known as O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, Inc.), a registered investment advisor (the "Portfolio Consultant"), developed a quantitative selection model that screens a universe of over 5,000 stocks to identify growth stocks believed to be reasonably priced and to have attractive growth potential. Growth — select stocks with consensus expected earnings per share growth of 20% for the next fiscal year. Then, to give a longerterm view and to avoid short-term run-ups, the Portfolio Consultant screens for a 20% annual consensus expected earnings-per-share growth rate for the next three to five years. |
Value — select growth stocks with price-to-earnings ratios not exceeding their estimated three-to-five year earnings growth rates. Relative Strength — identify stocks with strong relative price performance over the prior six months. The Portfolio Consultant eliminates smaller companies (market capitalizations below $750 million). Finally, the Defined Asset Funds Research Group selects the ten stocks considered most attractive. A Defined Strategy The Select Growth Portfolio is based on the Strategy of buying ten screened growth stocks and holding them for about a year. At the end of that time, we intend to reapply the Strategy and offer a new Select Growth Portfolio. At that time, you can choose to either redeem your investment, or roll your proceeds into the next Portfolio, if available, at a reduced sales charge. Although this is a one-year investment, it is designed to be part of a longer-term strategy. We recommend following this Strategy for at least three to five years for potentially more consistent results. |

Tax Considerations Generally, dividends and any net capital gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or not reinvested. By holding this Fund for more than one year, individuals may be eligible for favorable federal tax rates on net long-term capital gains (currently no more than 20%). Please consult your tax advisor concerning state and local taxation. Defining Your Costs You will pay an initial sales charge of about 1% the first time you buy. In addition, you'll pay a deferred sales charge of $15.00 per 1,000 units. |
