GTEK uses an active, bottom-up approach to build a high-conviction portfolio of potential next generation tech leaders. These are firms at various growth stages that are developing disruptive or emerging technologies. Since the fund focuses on growth potential, it notably excludes mega-cap tech companies that dominate the industry and only invests in globally-listed firms with less than $100 billion market-cap. While GTEK concentrates its investments in the information technology sector, it may also include tech-enabled firms in communication services, internet & direct marketing retail, and healthcare. To select securities, the fund adviser uses fundamental metrics to screen for quality and growth such as those indicating sustainable free cash flow generation. The fund also considers company valuation and may integrate ESG factors in the selection process.
