Investment Objective
A multi-manager Fund seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in large market capitalization U.S. stocks.
A TEAM OF MANAGERS
The Fund is sub-advised by complementary asset managers that select stocks as follows:
-
Barrow: Bottom-up analysis, with P/E and P/B
ratios below the market and dividend yield above
the market.
-
Brandywine Global: Substantially undervalued,
with dividend-paying companies receiving greater
emphasis.
-
H&W: Sustainable cash flows and strong balance
sheets, undervalued relative to tangible assets and
long-term normal earnings power.
-
MFS: Undervalued, high-quality companies with
sustainable, durable franchises, significant free cash
flow and strong management teams.
STRENGTH IN DIVERSIFICATION
-
The multi-manager approach brings diversification
to the Fund and helps protect it from single-manager
risk.
-
The Fund’s bottom-up portfolio construction is
well diversified at the security, industry and
stock levels.
-
The Fund’s assets may also include preferred
stocks, convertible securities, American
Depositary Receipts and foreign stocks traded
on U.S. exchanges.
-
As larger-cap companies return to their
historical valuations, the Fund is well
positioned to take advantage of this.
