Overview

ABOUT THIS FUND

A U.S.-centric equity fund, investing opportunistically in what we believe are mispriced business models, unconstrained by sector and with flexibility across market cap. Through deep fundamental analysis, we seek to identify misunderstood and underappreciated companies where we can invest with conviction to create longterm capital appreciation.

WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND

Thinking Independently
Expressing differentiated views by applying autonomous thinking

Multiple Avenues for Capital Appreciation
Seeking to invest in companies where there is potential for both the free cash flow of the company and the stock multiple to grow over time

Actively Different
This concentrated portfolio seeks to outperform the benchmark over time by leveraging the best ideas of our global research team to identify stocks trading at a discount to their intrinsic value across style, sector and market cap

Various Approaches to Investing
Investing with conviction where we believe the market either misunderstands the business model, undervalues the company’s assets or underappreciates the company’s growth potential
