ABOUT THIS FUND
BCGS invests in a portfolio of equity securities, including common stock and convertible securities, focusing on large-cap companies. The fund is generally expected to allocate to US and non-US developed markets but provides global exposure by reaching emerging markets. It invests in at least three countries, allocating approximately 40% of assets to non-US issuers unless market conditions dictate otherwise. The fund uses a proprietary quantitative framework to select securities with the potential for capital growth, emphasizing companies with strong free cash flow. The portfolio, reconstituted and reweighted monthly, holds 25 to 50 securities, with no more than 10% of assets in any single security. Geographic regions or sectors may dominate due to security selection. The fund may also hedge non-US currency exposure using forward foreign currency contracts under certain conditions, aiming to manage currency risk while adhering to its investment strategy. The fund is actively managed.
