About PEQRX

Its portfolio typically emphasizes sectors such as financial services, consumer defensive, energy, healthcare, and technology, counting names like Citigroup, Philip Morris International, Exxon Mobil, and Microsoft among its top holdings. The strategy involves investing at least 80% of assets in large-cap companies, aligning closely with benchmarks like the Russell 1000 Value Index.
