Fund Description

The Fund is sub-advised by Redwood Investments, LLC (“Redwood”), an affiliate of the Manager (Redwood and the Manager, collectively referred to as the “Manager,” where applicable).  Subject to the general supervision by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the Manager oversees Redwood and evaluates its performance results. The Manager reviews portfolio performance, compliance with investment guidelines and federal securities laws, and changes in key personnel of Redwood. Redwood is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, including purchases and sales of individual securities.The Fund invests in companies that it believes meet three primary criteria: (1) high quality companies, (2) which are attractively valued, and (3) where the Manager believes that future earnings and free cash flow growth will be meaningfully above what is expected by the market. High quality companies are those companies that offer strong earnings visibility and sustainability because of their durable competitive advantages, capable management teams, and prudent financial management. The Manager focuses on understanding industry and company dynamics to assess company quality, and on identifying and forecasting critical drivers to reach a differentiated view of future growth.The Fund is an all-cap, all-country, opportunistic focus fund which generally holds less than 50 holdings. Fund holdings may differ from this number for a variety of reasons, including, among others, because of extreme market volatility, such as when the Fund has entered a temporary defensive position. Additionally, the Fund may exceed the stated number of holdings when it acquires a new holding and determines that it is in the best interests of shareholders to sell an existing holding over a period of time, instead of immediately selling the entire holding.Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, including common stocks, American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts, of global companies, which include both U.S. and foreign companies, and invests significantly (at least 40% – unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30%) in foreign companies. Foreign companies are companies generally defined by a third party, or in certain circumstances by a Portfolio Manager, as companies (i) that are organized under the laws of a foreign country; (ii) whose securities are primarily listed in a foreign country; or (iii) that have a majority of their assets, or derive more than 50% of their revenue or profits from business, investments or sales, outside the United States. The Fund’s foreign investments will include securities of companies in both developed and emerging market countries. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, from large, well-established companies to small, emerging growth companies.Emerging market countries include all countries categorized as Emerging Markets or Frontier Markets by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).The Manager believes that exposure to issuers incorporated outside the United States can help provide diversification when seeking long-term growth of capital. The Fund may emphasize its exposure to foreign (including emerging market) securities if the Manager believes that such securities have the potential to outperform U.S. securities. The Fund will allocate its assets among various regions and at least three different countries, including the United States.The Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI), which is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index designed to provide a broad measure of equity market performance throughout the world, including both developed and emerging markets.The Fund may sell a stock when it reaches a target price, it fails to perform as expected, or other opportunities appear more attractive.The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies conducting business within a single sector, as defined by third party sources, including the information technology, consumer discretionary, financials and health care sectors.The Fund invests in cash (and cash equivalents) when the Fund is unable to find enough attractive long-term investments to meet its investment objective, to meet redemptions and/or when the Manager believes it is advisable to do so during times of short-term market volatility. During these times, cash (and cash equivalents) will not exceed 15% of the Fund’s net assets.
