Industry description
The investment seeks long-term growth of capital.
The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of large-capitalization company stocks that the subadviser believes are attractively priced when evaluated using quantitative measures such as P/E, P/CF, and P/B ratios. Although the strategy emphasizes attractive valuations, the subadviser also considers other quantifiable characteristics. Such characteristics may include measures of earnings quality, external financing, or trends in the earnings outlook. The subadviser's investment management team also exercises judgment when evaluating underlying data and positions recommended by the fund's quantitative process.
