Fund Description
To pursue its investment objective, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks and other equity securities. The Fund generally invests in stocks encompassing small, medium, and large market capitalizations. The Fund focuses on companies with growth rates higher than the general United States economy and with the potential to benefit from either secular macroeconomic trends or the creation of a new total addressable market (TAM).
The Fund will also invest in foreign securities, including the securities of companies located in foreign countries. The Fund will limit its investments in foreign securities, typically in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), to 15% of its total assets. The Fund will only invest in foreign domiciled securities to the extent that such securities are listed on a U.S. exchange.
The Fund seeks to provide investors with competitive after-tax investment returns by holding quality securities for the long term, which is designed to promote greater tax efficiency.
The Fund typically sells securities in companies if the investment thesis is changing or for opportunity cost, meaning we believe another security is more attractive for our shareholders. This typically occurs when the market valuation of a security held by the Fund rises significantly above the portfolio managers' estimates of its intrinsic business value or when the portfolio managers perceive that long-term economic fundamentals have significantly deteriorated or are unlikely to match their initial expectations.
