ASCE is an actively managed investment fund that focuses on equity securities of small- and medium-cap companies in the United States, primarily those located within the Russell 2500 Index range. The fund adopts a flexible investment strategy, allowing for the allocation of up to 20% of total assets into foreign issuers from developed markets, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). By employing a combination of quantitative methods and qualitative analysis, ASCE seeks to identify companies that are perceived as undervalued and have the potential for future earnings growth. The proprietary alpha model used in the fund ranks securities based on critical factors such as valuation, quality, and momentum. Meanwhile, the qualitative components of the analysis encompass assessments of management teams, product offerings, competitive positioning, and associated risks. The resulting portfolio is characterized by approximately 50 carefully curated securities that are diversely spread across major sectors while excluding companies heavily involved in alcohol, gaming, or tobacco. To maintain liquidity and manage short-term market volatility, cash and money market instruments may also be included in the portfolio, although this could influence the fund’s objectives during such times.
