Strategy Highlights
- Takes a long-term private equity-oriented approach by partnering with management who think and act like owners
- Looks to identify high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth when they trade at significant discount to intrinsic value
- Risk is defined as permanent loss of capital, not tracking error or short-term relative underperformance
Investment Strategy
- The fund will invest primarily in equity securities, including common stocks and depositary receipts
- Employs a growth style of equity management that emphasizes companies with sustainable competitive advantages, secular long-term cash flow growth returns on invested capital above their cost of capital and the ability to manage for profitable growth that can create long-term value for shareholders
- Aims to invest in companies when they trade at a significant discount to the estimate of intrinsic value
- Will consider selling a portfolio investment when the portfolio manager believes an unfavorable structural change occurs within a given business or the markets in which it operates, a critical underlying investment assumption is flawed, when a more attractive reward-to-risk opportunity becomes available, when the current price fully reflects intrinsic value, or for other investment reasons which the portfolio manager deems appropriate
About Risk
- Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities are volatile and can decline significantly in response to broad market and economic conditions.
- Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk: Foreign and emerging market securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit, currency and information risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than US securities, due to varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
- Growth Stocks Risk: Growth stocks may be more sensitive to market conditions than other equities as their prices strongly reflect future expectations.
- Small and Mid-Cap Stocks Risk: Investments in small and mid size companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.
- Currency Risk: Currency exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline.

P/E (trailing) is the sum of a company’s price-to-earnings, calculated by dividing current stock price by trailing earnings per share for the past 12 months. P/E (forward) measures price-to-earnings ratio using forecasted earnings for the price-to-earnings calculation; the forward measure is not a forecast of the fund’s performance. 3-5 Year Earnings Per Share (EPS) Growth is sourced from FactSet and based on long-term EPS growth rate estimates gathered directly from brokers. The portfolio and benchmark statistic is a weighted average of company level estimates. Return On Equity (ROE) (1-year equal weighted) is the 1-year ROE of all holdings divided by number of holdings. Median active share indicates the proportion of the portfolio’s holdings (by market value) that is different than the benchmark. A higher active share indicates a larger difference between the benchmark and the portfolio.
