Description

The fund employs an active strategy that starts with its investable universe, which consists of North American technology companies whose market capitalization is at least US $10 billion, and have options in respect of their securities listed on a recognized options exchange. The fund then equally weights the top 20 companies the adviser perceives as Technology Achievers from the universe. HTA aims to achieve (i) an average current year forward P/E ratio lower than the average of the investable universe, (ii) an average 3-year ROE greater than the average of the investable universe and (iii) an average PEG Ratio that is less than the average of the investable universe. The fund also writes covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio holdings to decrease volatility. Fund reconstitution and rebalancing is done quarterly.
