The Adviser generally uses a bottom-up stock and business analysis approach that seeks out high quality, growing companies that are sensibly priced. These companies may exhibit qualities such as consistent operating histories and financial performance, favorable long-term economic prospects, and competent management that can be counted on to use cash flow wisely and channel successful business gains to its shareholders. The Fund considers environmental, sustainability and governance ("ESG") characteristics and invests in companies that the Adviser believes are well-prepared to handle financially material ESG challenges. The Adviser utilizes an ESG framework in selecting investments. The Fund follows an active ownership approach, which takes into account relevant ESG matters. |
