The investable universe starts with S&P 500 constituents, non-US S&P Global 100 companies, and the top quartile of the S&P Midcap 400 Index. Eligible securities are screened for qualitative and quantitative factors, emphasizing superior and sustainable industry position, high returns on invested capital, strong free cash flow, little to no debt financing, and experienced management with ownership stakes. The fund intends to purchase stocks that trade at a significant discount.
