ABOUT THIS FUND
LCO is actively managed and seeks total return through capital appreciation and income. It invests in US and foreign equity securities, preferred stocks, fixed income instruments, US Treasurys, and shares of other investment companies, including ETFs. The fund uses a contrarian investment approach, betting that the market is wrong. It buys companies others do not want based on valuation. Equity selection considers valuation, earnings growth, cash flow, balance sheet strength, industry outlook, competitive positioning, management quality, and macroeconomic trends. Fixed-income selection factors include credit quality, yield relative to duration, issuer fundamentals, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and diversification. The portfolio typically holds 30 to 75 positions, with equity as the majority. Option strategies are also used to generate income, hedge risks, and reduce volatility. The portfolio is reviewed regularly for reallocation.
