GSC

GSC aims for long-term capital growth by investing in small-cap companies. Investments may include common and preferred stocks, warrants and other rights to acquire stocks, depositary receipts, REITs, and other investment funds, futures, forwards, options and other related instruments. While investing in mainly US equity securities, up to 25% may be invested in non-US securities, including those from emerging markets. Through a fundamental equity investment process, the fund evaluates securities based on characteristics believed to identify high quality with sustainable growth, such as strong business franchises, favorable long-term prospects, and excellent management. The fundamental research may integrate ESG with traditional fundamental factors, and not one factor solely determines stock selection. As an actively managed fund, the portfolio manager has full discretion to make buy, hold, or sell decisions at any time.
