Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

Defense and Aerospace Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in common stocks of companies principally engaged in defense and aerospace manufacturing, equipment, parts, or related services, using fundamental analysis of financial condition and industry position to select holdings. The fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to these investments or their market risk factors. Because security selection depends on the manager's assessment of each company's involvement in defense and aerospace activities, fund holdings and performance may diverge from any particular index or peer group.

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.

Cumulative return· Jun 2023 – Apr 2026

May 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.
