Investment Objective
Disciplined Multi-Factor Investment Process
The Fund seeks to outperform capitalization-weighted indices through a disciplined, multi-factor investment approach that provides exposure to well-known drivers of returns, or investment styles.
Investment Approach
The Fund seeks to outperform a broad equity index, investing in rigorously researched "styles." Styles are systematic investment strategies that have historically provided long-term positive returns in excess of their benchmarks.
This Fund employs three styles—value, momentum and quality—to construct a portfolio of non-U.S. large-cap and mid-cap companies. In addition to these three styles exhibiting positive excess returns in the long run, they have historically generated returns with low correlations (or the tendency to move in sync) with one another. 1 1 Close Source: Israel, Ronen, and Maloney, Thomas, 2013. “Understanding Style Premia.” AQR white paper. Thus, a portfolio combining all three could help to provide a more robust, dependable stream of returns.
The Fund seeks to exploit the potential positive returns and diversification benefits of these investment styles by integrating all three into a single portfolio.
The Fund also employs tax management techniques designed to ensure investors receive lower distributions of realized capital gains than mutual funds that do not take tax consequences into account. However, investors should not expect that there will be no capital gain distributions.
