About COTZX

The management team employs thorough research to select underlying funds believed to offer high quality and growth potential. With a below-average risk profile and a relatively low expense ratio for its category, the fund is positioned as a core holding for institutional investors seeking a dynamic yet systematic approach to asset allocation. Columbia Thermostat Fund Institutional Class has demonstrated competitive long-term performance in the tactical allocation category and manages over $1 billion in assets.
