What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Growth Portfolio (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of large capitalization companies.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests in large-capitalization growth stocks selected through bottom-up analysis for sustainable competitive advantages, above-average business visibility, high capital deployment returns, and strong balance sheets, with ESG factors integrated as a research lens. The adviser concentrates a significant portion of assets in a limited number of issuers, which may be in the same industry or sector, creating risk of divergence from broader market performance. The fund may invest up to 25% in foreign securities including emerging markets.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 21.84%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.81pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.16pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
