NBCE strives for long-term capital growth by focusing on China-based equities. The fund considers market cap for selection and targets companies with good balance sheets and the potential for sustainable, sizable earnings growth. It also puts emphasis on firms who demonstrate commitment to positive ESG practices. NBCE identifies these organizations as those who have clear environmental policies, employ social service and welfare programs, and have a management team that oversees their ESG strategies. Because of this direction, companies linked with harmful controversies or sitting in the lowest ESG ratings are ruled out. Additionally, the portfolio manager applies a disciplined selling strategy to securities deemed overvalued, underperforming, or when better investment opportunities arise. NBCE converted from a mutual fund, with $ 1.78 million in assets.
