Strategy
The fund concentrates its assets in 25-50 equities. To be considered for inclusion in the fund, a company must: offer a product or service that makes sense and can be expected to gain market share over the long-term; have an appropriate risk/reward balance; have a proven ability to generate strong and stable cash flows; and trade at a reasonable valuation. Emphasis is placed on stocks that are undervalued due to the market’s myopic investment horizon.
