The Adviser aims to actively capture returns from durable growth companies companies that it believes have long-term growth, quality, and durability characteristics as a result of such economic transformation or could play a central role in enabling other companies to do the same. Target companies are generally chosen from US- and non-US-listed equity securities, including common and preferred stock; equity securities of foreign companies listed on established exchanges, including NASDAQ; depository receipts; and private investments in public equity (PIPES). The Fund typically invests a portion of its assets in securities or other financial instruments issued by companies in the financial services sector, including, without limitation, the banking, brokerage and insurance and financial exchange and data industries. Although the Fund emphasizes investments in equity securities of large capitalization companies, it may invest in the equity securities of companies of any size. The Adviser expects to hold between 20-40 equities within the Funds portfolio. In considering potential investments, the Adviser will generally use a proprietary framework which includes fundamental analysis (such as company financial modeling and valuation analysis), combined with quantitative and thematic data, such as those that account for technological innovations, market dynamics, and changes in client preferences, to identify companies with competitive advantages that the Adviser believes attractively valued. The Fund will take an active management approach in responding to the complexities and developments of economic transformation. The key criteria, as discussed herein, by which the Adviser assesses companies for investment by the Fund will be applied to all investments by the Fund except for temporary investments or investments in cash equivalents. The Adviser evaluates financially material environmental, social, governance, and other risk factors to assess a companys value and its exposure to potential risks and opportunities. This analysis may be incorporated into various aspects of the investment process; however, this does not imply that these factors are the sole or primary determinants of investment decisions. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Funds total assets (including the value of any collateral received), however it is a priority of the Adviser and the Fund to vote all proxies, so securities lending revenue may be foregone as a result. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, and, as such, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than funds that are diversified.
