The core of the fund's investment portfolio, focusing on small capitalization companies in the U.S. This strategy aims to capitalize on the growth potential of small-cap markets, providing investors exposure to potentially high growth rates.
Investment in real estate investment trusts offers the fund exposure to the real estate market without the need for direct property ownership, potentially providing dividends and property-income-related growth.
Securities of companies involved in mining or related to precious metals industries are also included in the fund's portfolio. This diversification strategy aims to hedge against inflation and economic volatility.
The fund may invest in convertible securities, which are bonds or preferred shares that can be converted into a predetermined number of common stock or equity shares.

Investments in U.S. government obligations provide a risk management component to the fund, offering stable returns and serving as a counterbalance to the more volatile segments of the portfolio.
