|
|
Who Should Invest
|
 |
The Bishop Street Strategic Growth Fund might be a good choice for you if you’re seeking to:
- Invest for a long-term goal such as retirement.
- Diversify the equity portion of your portfolio.
- Participate in the growth potential of the stock market, and are willing to accept the risk of high share price volatility.
- Hedge against inflation.
|
|
Investment Strategy
|
 |
|
The Strategic Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks that the Sub-Adviser believes have potential for capital appreciation. The Fund's portfolio is comprised of approximately fifty equally-weighted stocks. The Fund expects to remain as fully invested in the above securities as practicable.
The Sub-Adviser's model focuses on "growth" stocks. These are stocks that our Sub-Adviser believes have above-average potential for long-term capital appreciation based on factors, such as, improving earnings, growth in book value, and valuation. The Fund's portfolio manager reviews portfolio weights on a daily basis to maintain approximately equal weightings of the stocks in the Fund's portfolio. The Sub-Adviser expects the Fund to experience a low level of portfolio turnover.
Industry Diversification
This refers to investing assets over various industry sectors such as financial services, pharmaceuticals, and technology companies. Diversification is important at this level because industry sectors do not perform identically to each other and it enables us to benefit from the growth opportunities of each sector. Over time, portfolio risk is reduced because sectors that perform poorly during a particular time period may be offset by sectors that are performing well.
Company Diversification
This refers to the diversification among stocks within each industry sector. This type of diversification is equally important, since companies within the same industry do not perform identically to each other. As with industry diversification, company diversification provides the opportunity to benefit from stocks that are performing well within the industry sector and offset stocks that are not performing as well.
