The IVSI exchange-traded fund invests in large-cap firms within developed international markets, excluding North America. It aims for capital appreciation by employing a blend of proprietary valuation methodologies and thorough fundamental analysis. The fund's adviser utilizes its specialized research, advanced valuation frameworks, and the proprietary Intrinsic Value Stewardship (IVS) model to select equities showing strong potential for appreciation. This involves assessing elements like current valuation, growth trajectory, financial health, and corporate strategy. Managed actively, the fund typically holds a diversified collection of at least 150 securities, spanning multiple nations and industries. However, the manager retains the flexibility to concentrate investments in specific holdings where its research provides strong justification. Investments are exited when they no longer present attractive prospects or if their weight within the portfolio becomes excessive.
