We believe a portfolio of income-generating stocks with underappreciated growth opportunities, combined with strategically selected bonds, can deliver attractive levels of income and growth over time.
We focus on selecting quality, industry-leading companies with rising dividends and underappreciated growth opportunities when they are out of favor. Additionally, we place a strong emphasis on companies that can grow dividends above the market.
On the fixed income side, we carefully select investments across high yield, convertibles, and investment grade. The investment team applies an equity-like security selection approach focused on attractively valued, misunderstood/out of favor bonds.
The allocation between equities and fixed income is a function of the relative opportunity set based on earnings growth, dividend yields, valuations, and fixed income yields.

The Osterweis Funds are available by prospectus only. The Funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The summary and statutory prospectuses contain this and other important information about the Funds.

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing to ensure the Fund is appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The Osterweis Growth & Income Fund may invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. Investments in preferred securities typically have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
While the fund is no-load, management fees and other expenses still apply. Please refer to the prospectus for more information.
