Global Equity Growth Fund
Investment Objective
To seek long-term capital appreciation and dividend income primarily through investments in large cap, blue chip equity securities worldwide.
Management Style
The Fund will employ an actively managed program of identifying relative value between different countries and currencies that comprise the index. The decision making process, fundamental, bottom-up research will be used to identify companies that we feel will outperform over the long-term. The Fund may use Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), third-party mutual funds and currency hedging to either limit or increase its exposure to a particular portion of the World market.
