About WEQCX
Teton Westwood Equity Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital appreciation. Its primary focus is on investing in established, large-capitalization companies that have demonstrated a history of positive earnings surprises and are trading at attractive valuations based on proprietary growth rate estimates. The fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio of 40 to 60 common stocks, increasing the significance of each individual holding within the overall portfolio. This concentration approach aims to maximize performance potential while accepting a higher degree of risk due to less diversification. Notable features of the fund include its annual dividend payouts and a track record of significant dividend growth in recent periods. The fund places emphasis on volatility controls, generally targeting stocks with lower beta values than the S&P 500 Index, reflecting a commitment to disciplined risk management. Teton Westwood Equity Fund Class C plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to seasoned U.S. equities with an emphasis on fundamental analysis and risk moderation, serving both individual and institutional participants seeking to achieve capital growth through a focused equity strategy.
