About MECDX
The New York Life Investments Epoch Capital Growth Fund Class A is an actively managed global equity mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities—both in the United States and internationally—focusing on companies that demonstrate a strong history of generating returns on invested capital above their cost of capital and consistent growth in operating cash flow. At least 80% of its assets are allocated to equities across all market capitalizations, with up to 20% invested in emerging markets when attractive opportunities are identified. The portfolio is diversified by geography, sector, and industry, with a notable allocation to both domestic and foreign stocks and a typical cash position under 2%. This fund aims to identify firms with disciplined capital allocation and management teams committed to reinvesting free cash flow for future growth. It uses the MSCI World Index as its performance benchmark and is managed by a team with significant tenure. The fund has received recognition for consistent risk-adjusted performance, including LSEG Lipper Fund Awards in recent years. Regular annual distributions and a moderate portfolio turnover underscore its disciplined approach. The fund plays a role in the market as a vehicle for investors seeking exposure to global growth equities, with an emphasis on quality and capital discipline.
