  The Government Street Funds
 
 

Leavell Investment Management, Inc. manages three no-load mutual funds within the Williamsburg Investment Trust series – The Government Street Equity Fund, The Government Street Mid-Cap Fund and The Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund.  These funds were established by Leavell Investment Management to provide individual and institutional investors with the benefits of broadly diversified, actively managed portfolios of high quality securities at modest expense ratios.

Leavell Investment Management, Inc. seeks to control risk in these mutual funds through their investment choices.  Portfolio Managers for The Government Street Equity Fund and The Government Street Mid-Cap Fund select securities based on fundamental qualities that provide representation to both growth and value equities. Additionally, the portfolios are well diversified across sector, industry and sub-industry classifications.

The Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund focuses on investments in high quality Alabama tax-exempt securities with an intermediate average maturity. We endeavor to provide a competitive product that meets the objectives of our clients and other investors.  At least 80% of its assets are in municipal bonds and notes and other debt instruments, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes and from the personal income taxes of the State of Alabama.

Portfolio Managers at Leavell Investment Management have honed their investment skills through the top-down approach consistently applied within each of these mutual funds.  Our firm does more than select the best outside mutual fund and exchange traded fund candidates to be included, we also actively manage stock and bond portfolios within individual accounts as well.  This added discipline enhances our portfolio managers’ understanding of the underlying markets and differentiates the services we offer.

The Government Street Equity Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation through the compounding of dividends and capital gains, both realized and unrealized, by investing in common stocks. The Fund has been managed by Tom Leavell since its inception in 1991.  The ticker is GVEQX.
