ARSOX Investment Objective and Strategy
Aristotle/Saul Global Opportunities Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Investment Managers Series Trust.
Investment objective
"The investment objective of the Aristotle/Saul Global Opportunities Fund (the ""Global Opportunities Fund"") is to seek to maximize long-term capital appreciation and income."
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal circumstances, the Global Opportunities Fund primarily invests its assets in equity securities that are listed on an exchange or that are otherwise publicly traded in the United States or in a foreign country. However, the Global Opportunities Fund may also invest in a variety of other instruments traded in U.S. and foreign markets, including, but not limited to, fixed income securities, convertible securities, and unlisted equity securities. The Global Opportunities Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds (""ETFs""). ETFs are investment companies that invest in portfolios of securities designed to track particular market segments or indices, the shares of which are bought and sold on securities exchanges. Under normal market conditions, the Global Opportunities Fund invests in at least three different countries, including emerging market countries, with at least 40% of its net assets invested in securities of issuers located outside the United States.
The Global Opportunities Fund's investments in foreign securities may include investments through American, European and Global Depository Receipts (""ADRs,"" ""EDRs,"" and ""GDRs,"" respectively). Depository receipts represent interests in foreign securities held on deposit by banks. The Global Opportunities Fund does not limit the types of companies in which it seeks to invest its assets based on market capitalization. The Global Opportunities Fund's investments in fixed income securities may be of any maturity and credit quality, including securities rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as ""junk"" bonds). The Global Opportunities Fund generally holds its investments for the long term. In selecting investments for the Global Opportunities Fund, the Fund's investment advisor (Aristotle Capital Management, LLC) employs a fundamental, bottom-up approach.
The Advisor focuses first on the quality of a company's business and then considers whether the company's securities are available at an attractive price. In addition, the Global Opportunities Fund may pursue tactical investment strategies from time to time in order to seek favorable returns on securities that the Advisor believes are over-valued based on its assessment of their prices. These tactical strategies may include, for example, short sales, investments in warrants, futures, forward contracts, distressed debt, preferred securities, and convertible securities, and purchase and sale of options, based on the Advisor's assessment of the fair value of the instrument or, as applicable, the underlying or related instrument (e.g., the stock on which an option is purchased). The Global Opportunities Fund may also pursue merger arbitrage opportunities in an effort to profit from any discount in the price of a target company's stock prior to the closing of a merger.
The Global Opportunities Fund generally seeks favorable performance relative to its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (net). However, the Advisor is not constrained by the composition of the MSCI All Country World Index in selecting investments for the Global Opportunities Fund."
