This fund primarily allocates a significant portion—at least 80%—of its capital to the common stock holdings of smaller corporations. The advisor defines these "small companies" as those whose market capitalization falls within the range of the Russell 2000® Index at the time the initial investment is made. Additionally, the investment team seamlessly integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into its fundamental investment analysis, making it an inherent part of their decision-making process.
