The fund invests in US and non-US companies of any market cap, using a bottom-up process combining fundamental analysis with thematic and quantitative screening. Other factors include supply chain positioning, growth potential, and valuation. Up to 15% may be allocated to illiquid investments, including passive minority interests in special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The fund may hold cash, cash equivalents, or short-term US Treasuries for liquidity and portfolio management.
