Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests predominantly in the equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including developing markets. The equity securities in which the Fund primarily invests are common stock. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small and medium capitalization companies. Although the Fund seeks investments across a number of regions, countries and sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in particular regions, countries or sectors.
The Fund's investment goal is to seek long-term capital growth of the Fund's overall portfolio in accordance with the Fund's name. In pursuing the growth of the Fund's portfolio, the investment manager applies a “bottom-up,” value-oriented, long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company’s securities relative to the investment manager’s evaluation of the company’s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The investment manager also considers a
company’s price/earnings ratio, price/cash flow ratio, profit margins and liquidation value.
The investment manager may consider selling an equity security when it believes the security has become overvalued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the company’s fundamentals, or when the investment manager believes another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.
