Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal investment strategy

Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Harbor Capital” or the “Advisor”), the investment adviser to the Fund, employs an active, quantitative approach designed to evaluate companies based on fundamental and market factors and construct a portfolio of securities featuring characteristics expected to be favored in the prevailing market environment. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of small capitalization value companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small cap value companies. The Fund defines small cap companies as those with market capitalizations that fall within the range of the Russell 2000 ® Index. The Fund defines value companies as those that the Advisor determines to be “value companies” based on a proprietary value factor analysis, which includes consideration of factors such as earnings yield, free cash flow yield, tangible book yield, and sales yield.

The Advisor’s systematic approach uses proprietary models and statistical techniques to analyze a range of fundamental and market-based characteristics. One component of this process is to evaluate each company across five broad categories: Capital Deployment, Momentum, Quality, Risk and Valuation. Each category incorporates multiple underlying metrics and reflects different drivers of return, including both fundamental and market-based inputs. The outputs of this analysis are used to produce an assessment of each company’s expected return potential (the “alpha score”). The Advisor’s systematic approach is also designed to adapt to changing market conditions—such as growth, liquidity, inflation and market sentiment—and adjusts exposures accordingly. This regime-aware approach seeks to align the portfolio with the types of attributes that the model predicts are more likely to be rewarded in the current market environment.
