Aristotle Value Equity Fund Class I-2 (AIQQX)

Overview

The fund is an investment entity that commits at least 80% of its assets towards equity securities, indicating a focus on acquiring ownership in companies through instruments like common stocks, depository receipts, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It primarily targets both domestic and foreign issuers that are publicly traded in the United States. With a strategic approach to investing primarily in equity securities, the fund is designed to appeal to investors seeking exposure to the stock markets. It employs a balanced investment philosophy by also allowing up to 20% of its total assets to be invested in American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), thereby offering a diversified and flexible investment portfolio.

Products and Services

• Equity Securities:

  The fund invests a significant portion of its assets in equity securities, which encompasses a range of investments in common stocks, depository receipts, and ETFs. This allows investors to gain exposure to the equity markets and participate in the potential capital appreciation of domestic and foreign companies. The investment in equity securities is central to the fund's strategy, with a focus on issuers that are listed on U.S. exchanges or otherwise publicly traded in the United States.

• Common Stocks:

  As a primary instrument for investment, common stocks offer shareholders ownership stakes in publicly traded companies, entitling them to a share of the corporation's profits via dividends and capital gains. The fund's investment in common stocks is a pivotal part of its strategy to deliver growth and income to investors through the stock market's potential for long-term wealth creation.

• Depository Receipts:

  The fund allocates up to 20% of its total assets in American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs). Depository receipts represent a company's foreign shares that are traded on U.S. exchanges and other global markets, making them an essential tool for investing in overseas companies. This aspect of the fund's offering enables investors to diversify their investment portfolios beyond domestic markets, providing access to global investment opportunities and exposure to foreign economies.

• Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs):

  ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities are another cornerstone of the fund's investment strategy. By including ETFs in its portfolio, the fund offers investors a way to gain diversified exposure to broad market sectors, industries, or specific investment strategies through a single transaction. ETFs combine the flexibility and liquidity of stock trading with the diversification benefits of mutual funds, making them an attractive option for investors looking to mitigate risk while participating in the market's growth.
