The fund seeks primarily high total return and secondarily current income by investing in companies across any size in the United States.
The investment process relies on fundamental analysis to look for companies offering better risk-adjusted return while preserving principal.
Next, the research team narrows the investable universe to a list of companies estimated to have the highest total return.
Then the manager constructs a diversified portfolio from a list of companies in the benchmark index favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level.
The manager invests across stocks and fixed income securities and varies the mix of stocks and bonds from time to time.
The fund invests more than 50% of its net assets in stocks and at least 25% of its net assets in fixed income senior securities.
The fund also invests in large and small companies, and includes both growth and value stocks.
Also, the fund has the flexibility to invest 15% of its nets assets in issuers of foreign securities, including in American Depositary Receipts and the securities of companies in emerging market countries.
However, the fund will only invest in emerging-market securities to the extent that such securities are listed on a U.S. exchange.
