Equity securities in which the Fund invests consist primarily of common stocks, and may include other types of equity securities. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Adviser actively manages the Fund by applying an economic return framework that seeks to identify attractively-priced companies at all stages of the corporate lifecycle that allocate capital in a way that creates long-term value. The Advisers economic return framework analyzes key determinants of success, such as cash flow, capital investments, credit worthiness and sales momentum. Taking into account a companys stage in the corporate lifecycle, the Adviser evaluates the sustainability of the companys economic returns and further evaluates potential investments to determine which stocks are most attractively priced. In managing the Fund, the Adviser seeks to construct a portfolio that is diversified across both economic sectors and corporate lifecycle. As a result of its lifecycle diversification, the Fund invests in both growth- and value-style equity securities. As part of the Adviser's investment process, the investment team evaluates the general and industry-specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors that the Adviser believes to be the most financially material to a company's short-, medium, and long-term enterprise value at any given time. The Adviser defines materiality in terms of the impact on a companys net income over the longer term. Specific ESG factors the Adviser considers at any given time vary greatly by geography and industry, and may also vary between companies within the same geographic region or industry. The Adviser typically reduces positions or sells securities in the Fund for a variety of reasons, such as when the securities reach their target price or when a position would exceed 5% of the Funds net assets.
