Summary
The fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in small-and mid-size U.S. companies.
The investment process starts with a list of companies included in the benchmark index and then the research team narrows the list to those companies that meet hurdles on growth and acceleration in revenues and earnings.
Next, the team with the help of fundamental research identifies high quality companies with financial strength, strong competitive positions, expanding profit margins, and durable earnings and cash flow growths.
