The investments are actively managed in order to provide
a superior real return mainly through long-term growth of
capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of U.S.
equities of large and medium capitalization companies.
Security selection favours companies which are believed
to be undervalued by the market but have solid growth
prospects by employing a relative value approach to
identify companies across all economic sectors which
are undervalued relative to the market, their peers, their
historical valuation or their growth rate.
