Investment Objectives

The fund objective is to provide long-term capital growth through investments in large-sized American companies.

Investment Strategy

The fund manager uses a bottom-up/growth approach to stock selection. Primary focus is on buying 'great companies' - companies with a dominant market position that are still growing their market share, spending on R and D and have the potential to redefine the market in which they operate. Management of these companies must have the vision to identify changing market conditions and expansion possibilities.
