* Effective May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, EULAV Securities LLC (the “Distributor”) has contractually agreed to waive all of the Fund’s 12b-1 fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The waiver cannot be terminated without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors.  For the period May 1, 2011 through December 16, 2011, EULAV Asset Management (the “Adviser”) waived the portion of the management fee equal to 0.10% on the first $100 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.15% on any additional assets.
 
 
 
 

 

 Example
 
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated whether or not you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same except in year one. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Value Line Fund $108 $391 $694 $1,557
         
Portfolio turnover        
                                                                 
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 27% of the average value of its portfolio.
