Fund Details
Teberg Overview
Teberg (TEBRX) is an actively managed Allocation Tactical Allocation fund. Absolute Capital launched the fund in 2002.
The investment seeks to maximize total return (capital appreciation plus income). The fund invests primarily in shares of any number of other no-load and load-waived mutual funds. The fund’s investment sub-adviser selects primarily equity mutual funds that the Sub-Adviser believes offer superior prospects for capital growth, attractive high-yield bond mutual funds and money market mutual funds.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $60 million in total assets, which is below the $220 million average for the Tactical Allocation category. Normally, lower assets under management translates to higher average expense ratios, and greater total assets are desired. However, for some investment categories, such as small-cap investing, it may be difficult for the manager to fully employ the desired active strategy if assets grow too large or too quickly.
TEBRX Performance and Fees
The expense ratio measures how much of a fund’s assets are used for administrative expenses and operating expenses, including adviser fees and fees for the transfer agent and custodial services. The Teberg expense ratio is high compared to funds in the Tactical Allocation category. Teberg has an expense ratio of 2.03%, which is 16% higher than its category average, making the fund expense ratio grade a D. While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome. Active management normally comes with higher expense ratios than passive index management. Certain investment categories such as small company and foreign also normally have higher expense ratios. It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
High portfolio turnover can translate to higher expenses and lower aftertax returns. Teberg has a portfolio turnover rate of 1%, indicating that holds its assets around 0.6 years. By way of comparison, the average portfolio turnover is 197% for the Tactical Allocation category.
Recently, in the month of June 2026, Teberg returned 4.9%, which earned it a grade of A, as the Tactical Allocation category had an average return of -0.4%. The letter grades of A, B, C, D and F are based upon relative rankings within the investment category. A grade of A, for example, would indicate that the return is in the highest 20% for that time period compared to all funds in that category.
Teberg has a trailing yield of 0.00%, which is below the 2.84% category average. The fund normally distributes its income annually and its capital gains annually.
It’s natural to seek the best-performing investments, but you must consider the relationship between risk and return and the impact of costs and taxes on your realized returns.
