Investment Objective
The Fund’s objective is to provide consistent long-term capital appreciation with an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return. The Fund aims to build a portfolio that is long the most attractive stocks and short the most unattractive stocks based on our multi-factor ranking system. We will buy quality companies in the midst of fundamental positive change with reasonable valuations and sell short lower quality companies in the midst of negative fundamental change that have high valuations. This portfolio will be structured so that it generally has positive but not full equity market exposure. On average, the fund will possess a 50% net long exposure to the equity market.
