We believe these tools enhance our decision-making by informing portfolio construction and supporting a balanced risk and return assessment over time. As part of our investment process, an assessment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors that are deemed to have material business and/or financial risk may be considered alongside other relevant factors. The ESG factors utilized in the Funds investment process may change over time, some factors may not be relevant with respect to all stocks and may or may not be determinative in the security selection process. We may sell a holding when its price no longer offers an attractive risk/reward, fundamentals deteriorate, or to manage risk and reallocate toward more attractive opportunities.
