Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
The fund seeks capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies of any size, selected by the Investment Manager based on valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position, and projected earnings and cash flows. The fund maintains at least 80% of net assets in equity investments. Because returns depend on the Investment Manager's security selections, the fund's performance will diverge from any benchmark.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Information Technology | 28.8% |
| Financials | 15.5% |
| Consumer Discretionary | 11.2% |
| Communication Services | 10.9% |
| 10 smaller | 33.6% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.
