The fund primarily holds common stocks, with investments spanning approximately 360 companies across sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer goods, and financial services. Notable holdings include leading firms like Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Alphabet, reflecting its emphasis on market leaders meeting strict ESG criteria.
