The Fund will typically own between 25 and 35 companies. As an integral part of the evaluation of a company, Sands Capital considers corporate governance, social, and environmental practices (collectively, ESG) when it believes such practices may be material to the long-term shareowner value creation potential of the company. Sands Capital utilizes proprietary ESG-related research to enhance its evaluation of portfolio businesses. The relevance and materiality of ESG practices vary and are highly dependent on the region, country, industry, and company. Sands Capitals analysis of these practices is integrated into the investment decision-making process to the extent it believes they may affect the sustainability of a companys value-creation potential. The Fund is non-diversified and invests a significant percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or in the securities of a smaller number of companies than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest a high percentage of its assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return.
