Fund Holdings
The fund focuses on investing in common stocks and similar equity securities with the goal of long-term capital appreciation. According to Value Line, “Stocks are chosen based on bottom-up fundamental analysis rather than top-down allocation. The focus is on identifying companies with strong prospects that are selling at attractive prices. When conditions warrant, management may use currency hedging to temper the portfolio’s overall risk.”
