About HESAX
Horizon Defensive Core Fund Advisor Class is a mutual fund focused on providing exposure to large and mid-cap U.S. equities while actively mitigating downside risk. The fund’s primary objective is to achieve returns comparable to a broad U.S. equity index that integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria by tracking the MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index for its equity component. It employs a two-pronged strategy: an ESG-focused core equity allocation and a proprietary Risk Assist® strategy designed to manage volatility and reduce portfolio losses during periods of elevated market risk. The Risk Assist® approach permits dynamic allocation, allowing between 0% and 100% of net assets to be shifted into U.S. Treasuries or cash equivalents as volatility rises, aiming to preserve investor capital during adverse market conditions. With holdings diversified across approximately 295 securities, the fund also features a low risk profile and an average performance rating. This blend of ESG screening and tactical risk management positions the Horizon Defensive Core Fund Advisor Class as a distinctive participant within the large blend mutual fund category, appealing to risk-conscious investors who value sustainable investing principles.
