Products and Services

• Common Stock and ADRs Investment

  The fund specializes in investing in the common stock and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of companies of any size. This includes a wide spectrum from large, well-established corporations to smaller, growth-oriented companies. The investment is not geographically constrained, encompassing both domestic companies within the United States and international entities. This approach allows the fund to tap into the potential of various markets and sectors, prioritizing undervalued stocks that exhibit potential for high returns.

• Emerging and Developing Markets Investment

  Distinctively, the fund commits resources to emerging or developing markets, which are defined as those not included in the MSCI World Index. This strategy is rooted in the belief that such markets, despite their inherent risks, offer significant growth opportunities. By investing in these regions, the fund aims to benefit from economic advancements, demographic shifts, and improving governance structures that can lead to substantial market gains. This approach necessitates a thorough understanding of local markets, economies, and political landscapes to mitigate risks while seizing growth opportunities.

• Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) Investment

  The inclusion of publicly traded master limited partnerships (MLPs) in the fund's portfolio adds another layer of diversification. MLPs are unique investment vehicles, often focused on the energy and natural resources sectors, that offer potential for income generation alongside growth. Investing in MLPs allows the fund to participate in the infrastructure and natural resources markets, which can provide stable and regular income streams through dividends, along with the possibility of capital appreciation. This investment option complements the fund's value-oriented strategy by balancing growth opportunities with income-generating assets.
