Overview

Fund Objective

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Highlights

  • The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies.
  • The Fund may invest in any country, market, and sector/industry across the market capitalization range within the Fund’s predefined investment guidelines.
  • Philosophy and process designed to capitalize on market dislocations based on fear and greed.
  • Intensive, original research leads to deep understanding of portfolio holdings.
  • Risk is viewed on an absolute term and defined as permanent loss of capital/purchasing power.
  • Opportunistic portfolio which we believe will have low correlation to other managers.
