The fund aims to provide significant long-term capital appreciation. It typically allocates at least 80% of its total assets to equity securities of U.S. companies. The Adviser specifically targets large-capitalization firms that it considers to be undervalued. A company qualifies as large-cap if its market capitalization is $5 billion or greater at the point of investment, or if it falls within the market capitalization range of companies comprising the Russell 1000 Index at that same time. A core aspect of the Adviser's strategy involves evaluating a company's true worth independently from its prevailing share price.
