SA U.S. Value Fund Investor Class (SABTX)

Overview

The fund is a financial investment vehicle designed with a focus on purchasing equity securities of large and mid-cap U.S. companies. These companies are carefully selected based on their listing on a reputable U.S. securities exchange and are identified by the Sub-Adviser as "value" stocks at the time of investment. This entails that the companies chosen present a value investment opportunity, offering potentially undervalued stocks that could deliver favorable returns over time. The fund commits to investing at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. securities to maintain a strong focus on domestic markets. Moreover, to augment its income, the fund may engage in lending its portfolio securities. This strategy aims at generating additional revenue, complementing the fund's main investment income and potentially increasing the overall returns for investors.

Products and Services

• Purchase of Equity Securities

The core offering involves accumulating a broad and diverse set of equity securities from large and mid-cap companies in the U.S. These are not just any companies, but those listed on recognized U.S. securities exchanges and identified as offering value investment opportunities. This approach is central to the fund's strategy to capitalize on undervalued stocks that can provide significant returns.

• Investment in U.S. Securities

Emphasizing its dedication to the U.S. market, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets directly into U.S. securities. This significant allocation underscores the fund's confidence in the growth and stability of the U.S. economy and its financial markets. It also offers investors exposure to domestic assets, aligning with investment strategies focused on U.S. economic performance.

• Securities Lending

In a bid to optimize returns for its investors, the fund employs a securities lending strategy. By lending out its portfolio securities, the fund generates additional income, which can enhance the overall performance and attractiveness of the investment. This method is a common practice among investment funds to improve their revenue streams without altering their investment portfolios significantly.
