The fund invests in large- and mid-cap US companies that are less sensitive to economic cycles, spanning across all sectors rather than focusing solely on traditional defensive sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities. Stock selection employs a systematic, rules-based process that evaluates companies based on measures such as price volatility, earnings stability, and consistency of earnings estimate. Securities that score well on these defensive criteria are weighted in the portfolio according to the strength of their defensive characteristics. The strategy aims to identify companies likely to be more resilient during economic slowdowns. The fund incorporates ESG considerations by favoring companies with improving sustainability risk profiles, reducing exposure to high-controversy securities.
