Products and Services

• Thematic Investment Strategies

GRNY capitalizes on specifically identified themes that have substantial implications for the US economy and stock market. These themes are selected based on their importance to the economy, the likelihood of realization, their interconnected impact, and their feasibility. By focusing on 5 to 10 pivotal themes at any given time, GRNY aims to stay ahead of market trends and secure a competitive edge.

• Active Management and Fundamental Analysis

At its core, GRNY employs a top-down approach to fundamental analysis combined with sophisticated quantitative screening. This dual strategy enables the fund to dissect sectors and companies likely to benefit from the chosen themes. Active management allows for dynamic adjustment of the fund's portfolio, ensuring alignment with evolving economic landscapes and thematic trends.

• Quantitative Screening Process

The sub-adviser's quantitative screening process is pivotal in identifying sectors and companies poised for success. By employing a rigorous analytical framework, GRNY narrows down potential investments to those that not only align with the identified themes but also demonstrate the potential for top-tier performance. This selective process ensures a focused and potent investment strategy.

• Equally Weighted Stock Selection

Upon identifying 20 to 50 stocks that stand out as top performers in two or more of the selected themes, GRNY adopts an equal weighting strategy for portfolio composition. This approach, recalibrated quarterly, fosters diversification and mitigates risks associated with market volatility. By equally weighting its investments, GRNY ensures no single investment disproportionately impacts the fund's overall performance.
