About HASGX

The investment team applies rigorous company analysis and risk controls, emphasizing quality growth companies across a range of sectors, including healthcare, industrials, consumer cyclical, financial services, and technology. By targeting small-cap stocks, the fund provides exposure to the segment of the equity market characterized by higher growth potential but also increased volatility.
