NBGX offers exposure to the global large-cap growth space. The fund primarily invests in large-cap companies within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The portfolio managers utilize a research-driven approach that combines quantitative and qualitative factors to identify quality growth companies with strong sales growth, higher earnings visibility, or competitive returns on equity. The fund analyzes various factors such as balance sheet metrics, profit margin profiles, market share, competitive leadership, sales, cash flow, earnings growth, and market valuation relative to a stocks own historical data and other large-cap companies. Additionally, financially material ESG factors are taken into consideration. The fund may use options to enhance returns. Securities are sold when they reach a target price, underperform, or when more attractive opportunities arise. The fund is actively managed and has no geographic or industry constraints.
