Overview
The fund described focuses primarily on investment strategies that aim at mirroring the performance of a carefully selected stock index, which is characterized by a broad diversification and a predominant composition of large U.S. companies displaying growth characteristics. The investment approach is centered around indexing, with the advisor committing to investing a significant portion, if not all, of the fund's assets into the constituents of the target index. This is done in a manner that each stock within the fund's portfolio is held in nearly the same proportion as its representation in the said index. Such a method attempts to ensure that the fund's performance closely aligns with that of the index it tracks.
