SEIS primarily invests in small-cap equities using an integrated management approach. Stock selection combines the advisers proprietary quantitative model with stock recommendations from one or more sub-advisers. The model emphasizes key factors such as value, momentum, quality, and low volatility. Additionally, this model can be adjusted based on market conditions to target favorable opportunities. While the strategy integrates multiple models, the adviser retains full discretion over the final portfolio composition, either incorporating or disregarding sub-adviser recommendations as needed to optimize the portfolio, align with forward-looking strategies, or manage risk. Holdings may also include mid-cap stocks.
