Fund Description

The Fund is a diversified fund that invests primarily in equity securities in the form of common stock of U.S. large‑sized companies. The Adviser defines large‑sized companies as those, at the time of purchase, with market capitalizations no smaller than the top 90th percentile by total market capitalization of the S&P 500 Index at June 30, or companies with market capitalizations above $10 billion, whichever is smaller. The Adviser seeks to invest primarily in what it believes are unique, well-managed, competitively advantaged businesses that generate significant excess free cash flow that is consistently returned to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks and/or dividends.
