ABOUT THIS FUND
AV is designed to provide exposure to companies materially involved in US aerospace and aviation infrastructure through an actively managed global portfolio. This includes aircraft design, production, propulsion systems, avionics, MRO services, leasing, fleet management, and passenger and cargo air transportation. Eligible firms are selected based on revenue, profit, asset, or industry ranking criteria. The fund may invest in both US and foreign equities, hold ADRs, and allocate up to 15% in illiquid assets such as special purpose vehicles (SPVs) to provide limited exposure to private securities. In determining constituents, a bottom-up security selection process is utilized, combining fundamental analysis, thematic screening, and quantitative methods to evaluate strategic positioning, growth potential, and valuation. It may also hold cash, cash equivalents, or short-term US Treasurys for liquidity or portfolio management purposes. It seeks capital appreciation.
