INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund's Investment Adviser uses a three-step process to identify companies with the most undervalued streams of sustainable
     cash flow.

  • A ranking of country and industry value sectors is established first, as these sectors influence security prices. This ranking is based on an evaluation of the interaction of cash flow, inflation and interest rates, utilizing a proprietary investment model developed by the Adviser. The ranking identifies companies priced low relative to comparable companies.

  • Using traditional valuation criteria, the Adviser regularly reviews its database of more than 30,000 global companies to produce a list of approximately 500 companies that appear to have the greatest potential for undervalued streams of sustainable cash flow. The Adviser also takes into consideration the normal security price fluctuations that can undervalue a company's cash flow and assets.

  • The Adviser then conducts rigorous fundamental research on the companies identified through the ranking and evaluation processes. The Fund invests in a portfolio of 50-100 companies, typically diversified across 15 countries and 15 industries, that pass fundamental research criteria. Typically initial investments are evenly weighted but, because the value of stocks will change, this weighting may also change.
