Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, we invest:
| ■ | at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in equity securities; and |
| ■ | up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in equity securities of foreign issuers through ADRs and similar investments. |
We invest principally in equity securities of companies that we believe have prospects for robust and sustainable growth of revenues and earnings. We may invest in the equity securities of companies of any market capitalization. We may also invest in equity securities of foreign issuers through ADRs and similar investments.
We seek to identify companies that have the prospect for robust sales and earnings growth rates, that enjoy a competitive advantage and that we believe have effective management with a history of making investments that are in the best interests of shareholders. Furthermore, we seek to identify companies that embrace innovation and foster disruption using technology to maximize efficiencies, gain pricing advantages, and take market share from competitors. We believe innovation found in companies on the “right side of change” are benefitting from technological, demographic, lifestyle and environmental trends, and are often mispriced in today’s public equity markets. This mispricing is a key inefficiency that the team seeks to exploit through intensive fundamental research. We pay particular attention to how management teams allocate capital in order to drive future cash flow; this includes the allocation of human capital, financial capital, and social capital. We believe successful allocation of such resources has a correlation with key indicators of future performance. Price objectives are determined based on industry-specific valuation methodologies, including relative price-to-earnings multiples, price-to-book value, operating profit margin trends, enterprise value to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and free cash flow yield. Portfolio holdings are continuously monitored for changes in fundamentals. The team seeks a favorable risk/reward relationship to fair valuation, which we define as the value of the company (i.e., our price target for the stock) relative to where the stock is currently trading. We may invest in any sector, and at times the Fund may emphasize one or more particular sectors. We may choose to sell a holding when it no longer offers favorable growth prospects, reaches our target price, or to take advantage of a better investment opportunity.
