About VNSAX
Natixis Vaughan Nelson Select Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation through investments in U.S. equity securities. Managed by Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, the fund employs a high-conviction strategy, concentrating its assets in a select portfolio of typically fewer than 30 stocks. Its approach favors companies believed to possess undervalued assets and strong earnings growth potential. The fund is considered non-diversified, meaning it allocates a significant portion of its assets to a small number of holdings, which may increase exposure to individual company performance. With a primary allocation to large-cap growth and blend equities, the fund’s top positions frequently include leading companies in the technology, communication services, healthcare, financial, and industrial sectors. It is designed for investors seeking an actively managed vehicle that targets value and growth opportunities across the U.S. market. Since its inception in 2012, the fund has aimed to deliver competitive returns through rigorous fundamental research and disciplined stock selection, playing a notable role for investors interested in concentrated equity exposure within their portfolios.
