Description

The fund aims to provide long-term capital growth and protection of capital by investing in a broad universe of equities. Its active strategy allows a bigger allocation of the fund to US equities, but may also invest in companies from other developed and emerging markets. The portfolio managers select companies based on their expected returns in the portfolio, which are based on the stock prices at the time of evaluation and a review of the long-term expected growth of the companies. The review process includes an analysis of each companys competitive position, management strengths, expected profitability, and financial position. The fund expects to hold its positions for the long-term and may also invest in fixed income securities.
