About WCEAX
Macquarie Core Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital growth by investing primarily in large-cap U.S. companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to equity securities, focusing on companies deemed to have high quality, sustainable competitive advantages, financial strength, and stable earnings. Its investment approach involves a concentrated portfolio, often selecting stocks that are expected to benefit from underappreciated, multi-year earnings catalysts.
The portfolio manager leverages over two decades of experience to construct a blend-oriented mix that is broadly representative of the U.S. market, spanning multiple sectors such as technology, consumer services, and healthcare. This strategy results in a portfolio where the top ten holdings may constitute over a third of assets, frequently including leading firms like Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple. Categorized as a large blend fund, Macquarie Core Equity Fund Class A aims to balance growth and value characteristics, appealing to investors seeking diversified exposure to major U.S. industries while managing risk through selective stock choice and sector allocation.
