Portfolio management applies a bottom-up approach that focuses on fundamental research and considers, among other factors, a companys sustainable competitive advantages, long-term growth potential, and shareholder value. The Portfolio will generally consider selling a security when, in portfolio managements opinion, there is a deterioration in a companys financials, the investment thesis for owning the position has changed, or if the security exceeds its targeted value. The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
