ABEQ uses a proprietary five-stage process to actively manage its portfolio. This process is used to identify, purchase, and sell companies that the funds sub-adviser believes are fundamentally attractive and will yield positive returns in all market conditions, over complete market cycles, net of fees and expenses, and not returns that outperform a specific benchmark. The fund primarily invests in US companies of any market capitalization and in any sector, which are selected based on company-by-company analysis.
