Products and Services

• Equity Securities of Small-Capitalization Companies:

  This product focuses on investing in the share capital of small-cap companies, defined by either having a market capitalization of less than $2.5 billion or qualifying under the highest market capitalization in the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of purchase. The target market cap threshold ensures an investment profile that is aimed at gleaning growth from companies that are often in the early or developmental stages of their business lifecycle yet possess a significant upside potential.

• Investment Borrowing Strategy:

  In addition to utilizing its net assets, the fund may also engage in borrowing for the purpose of investment. This strategic employment of leverage is aimed at enhancing the total capital available for investment in its chosen market segment. By doing so, the fund aims to amplify the potential returns from its investments in small-capitalization companies, within the frame of carefully assessed risk parameters to manage the inherent leverage-associated risks.
