Growth Potential with Tempered Volatility
Offering exposure to medium-sized companies with resilient business models, this equity portfolio is designed to weather a variety of market environments and take on moderately less risk than the index.

Capture Ratio measures the percentage of index (market) performance an investment “captured” during periods when the index achieved gains (up capture) or declined (down capture). A capture ratio of 100% means investment performance went up or down exactly the same amount as the index.

Information Ratio is a ratio of portfolio returns above the returns of an index to the volatility of those returns. It is an indicator of portfolio management performance.
