It employs a disciplined investment approach that weighs both relative quality and valuation, aiming to capitalize on a long-term horizon while managing the typical volatility associated with small-cap stocks.

With an emphasis on high-quality companies, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to the growth potential and innovation often found in the U.S. small-cap segment, while seeking to mitigate some of the inherent risks of smaller-company investing through its quality-oriented approach.
