Fund Description
• | Price-to-sales ratio below 1.5 |
The Growth Strategy uses price-to-sales as its value criterion because sales figures are more difficult for a company to manipulate than earnings and frequently provide a clearer picture of a company’s potential value. | |
• | Annual earnings that are higher than the previous year |
The Growth Strategy considers improved earnings to be a key indicator of a company’s financial strength. | |
• | Positive stock price appreciation over the past three-month and six-month periods |
The Growth Strategy considers stock price appreciation because it is often associated with positive fundamentals, such as strong growth or improving profitability. |
