FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
31-Jan-2020 - David J. Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Interest rates and inflation remain low, in part because disruption is so prevalent–creating capacity and abundance. We believe this environment will persist. While we continue to like the cyclicals we own, the coronavirus outbreak and Boeing’s decision to halt 737 MAX production could significantly affect global growth in the near term. We are mindful of the portfolio’s balance between cyclical and secular growth names, and are looking to upgrade the quality of our cyclical positions where opportunities arise.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We look for companies that we believe have the potential for improving economic returns in the future and that we can buy at an attractive price. In a world of secular change, this means understanding the forces enhancing or erasing durable competitive advantage to correctly identify the winners and losers ahead of the market. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

31-Aug-2024 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Global equities gained ground in August. Markets initially sold off as signs of moderating global growth ignited concerns of a possible recession in the US. Stocks overcame early losses, however, as optimism about interest rate cuts and additional data points supporting a soft economic landing helped drive bullish investor sentiment. Within the portfolio, our choice of health care names, coupled with an overweight position, contributed the most to relative performance. Shares of a pharmaceuticals company advanced as its latest quarterly results delivered stronger-than-expected sales of its diabetes and weight loss drugs, and management raised its full-year revenue guidance. We continue to believe the firm will see meaningful acceleration in growth as GLP-1 adoption increases and multiple additional clinical catalysts further expand the GLP-1 addressable market. Conversely, stock selection in consumer staples weighed. Shares of a dollar store retailer fell sharply in August on disappointing results. Same-store sales slowed suddenly in June while gross margins declined, in part due to higher markdowns. The company noted that its core low-income consumers felt greater economic pressure than in previous quarters. Notwithstanding these near-term issues, we believe that longer term, the company still has the ability to consistently generate high-single-digit earnings growth through stable gross margin and continued share repurchase.
31-Dec-2023 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We are underweight consumer staples as we feel that many companies are losing their traditional distribution strength. We also find the sector broadly expensive. Recently, we meaningfully reduced our allocation here and are being very selective about what we own, especially given the rising use of GLP-1 obesity drugs that could pressure demand for food staples. We are focused on high-quality companies with low debt that we think can deliver volume growth and margin expansion with a mix of durable growth companies and more idiosyncratic ideas that we believe are on the right side of change or currently out of favour.
