Overview
This fund is designed to cater to investors looking for equity exposure across a wide range of company sizes, with a pronounced focus on smaller capitalization, high profitability companies, and those priced lower relative to their intrinsic value within the International Universe. To adhere to its investment strategy, it operates under a non-fundamental policy stipulating that at least 80% of its net assets are to be allocated towards equity securities. The fund's investment decisions are guided by a set of strategic principles that not only involve long-term financial metrics but also integrate shorter-term financial indicators such as price momentum and short-run reversals. By doing so, the fund maintains the flexibility to adjust its exposure to certain companies based on their current performance and market trends, while also having the latitude to exclude companies from its portfolio based on these considerations. This approach ensures that the fund can swiftly adapt to changing market conditions, aiming to optimize returns for its investors.
