Investment Objective
A multi-manager Fund seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in mid-market capitalization U.S. stocks.
TEAM OF MANAGERS
The Fund is sub-advised by three complementary asset managers:
-
Barrow: Constructs portfolios on a bottom-up basis,
reflecting price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios below
the market and a dividend yield above the market.
-
LMCG: Focuses on stocks they believe are inexpensive
and offer a high probability of modest outperformance
rather than a low probability of high outperformance.
-
Pzena: Buys good businesses when they go on sale,
focusing on companies whose stock price is low relative
to normal earnings power; current earnings are below
normal; and management has a reasonable plan for
earnings recovery.
STRENGTH IN DIVERSIFICATION
The multi-manager approach brings
diversification to the Fund and helps
protect it from single-manager risk.
-
The Fund typically holds 140 to 160
positions.
-
Bottom-up portfolio construction lends itself
to a portfolio that is well diversified at the
security, industry and stock level.
-
Fund assets may include common and
preferred stocks, convertible securities,
American Depositary Receipts and foreign
stocks traded on U.S. exchanges.
