The company operates a fund that focuses on investing primarily in common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization issuers believed by the fund's investment adviser to be reasonably priced relative to their long-term earnings growth rates. By adhering to a strategy that targets these specific types of investments, the fund aims to ensure that at least 80% of its net assets are allocated to common stocks. Within this allocation, it is committed to investing a minimum of 65% of the assets in common stocks of large capitalization issuers that meet the fund’s stringent selection criteria.
The fund dedicates a significant portion of its portfolio, at least 65%, to investing in common stocks of large capitalization companies. These companies are selected based on their potential for long-term earnings growth, with a primary focus on those considered to be priced reasonably relative to their earnings outlook. This strategy aims to harness the growth potential of established market leaders.
A portion of the fund's assets is also allocated to common stocks of mid-capitalization issuers. This inclusion seeks to capitalize on the growth potential of medium-sized companies that are assessed by the fund’s investment adviser to be undervalued relative to their long-term growth trajectories. Investing in mid-cap stocks aims to strike a balance between risk and reward, tapping into the potential for significant growth while managing the inherent risks of smaller, less established companies.
The fund operates under a guiding principle that investments should be made in companies whose stock prices are reasonable when considering their projected earnings growth rates. This approach is central to the fund's investment strategy, ensuring a disciplined investment process that seeks to avoid overvalued assets and concentrate on those with solid fundamentals and promising growth prospects.
