Description

This fund's primary aim is the sustained appreciation of capital, complemented by a secondary goal of generating current income. To achieve these objectives, the fund primarily allocates a minimum of 80% of its total holdings to American equities, focusing on those companies whose market values align with the constituents of the Russell 2000 Index. Its investment methodology follows a value-oriented approach. Typically, value strategies prioritize companies whose share prices appear undervalued when compared to fundamental metrics like earnings and book value, frequently resulting in shares that offer higher-than-average dividend payouts.
