Fund Description

The fund uses a quantitative investment process to identify equity securities across all market capitalizations. Its disciplined approach combines value, momentum, quality, and growth factors to build a diversified portfolio, evaluating investment fundamentals from a broad universe of securities. The analysis emphasizes financial strength and earnings stability, securities trading below intrinsic value based on fundamental metrics, positive price trends, and increasing earnings growth trends. The strategy seeks to diversify holdings and optimize risk-adjusted returns while managing risk by limiting exposure to specific industry sectors and individual issuers. Holdings may be sold when signals indicate deteriorating value, better opportunities arise, or to stay within risk parameters. The fund invests primarily in domestic securities, with up to 10% in foreign securities, including ADRs and GDRs.
