C000122743 Investment Objective and Strategy
Columbia Acorn Select describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Columbia Acorn Trust.
Investment objective
Columbia Acorn Select SM (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund (i) invests a majority of its net assets in the common stock of small- and mid-sized companies with market capitalizations under $20 billion at the time of initial investment (Focus Stocks) and (ii) may also invest in companies with market capitalizations above $20 billion, provided that immediately after that investment a majority of the Funds net assets would be invested in Focus Stocks. The Fund may continue to hold, and make additional investments in, Focus Stocks whose market capitalizations have grown to exceed $20 billion, regardless of whether the Funds investments in Focus Stocks are a majority of the Funds net assets. Columbia Wanger Asset Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser (the Investment Manager), believes that stocks of small- and mid-sized companies, which generally are not as well known by financial analysts as larger companies, may offer higher return potential than stocks of larger companies.
The Fund invests the majority of its assets in U.S. companies, but also may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign companies in developed markets (for example, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom). A portion of the Funds foreign exposure may also include companies in emerging markets (for example, China, India and Colombia). The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts. The Fund invests in a limited number of companies (generally between 20-40), offering the potential to provide above-average growth over time. In pursuit of the Fund's objective, the portfolio manager takes advantage of the research and stock-picking capabilities of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager seeks to select investments which offer the best combination of risk and return.
The Investment Managers efforts are generally focused on sectors, industries and companies which provide higher expected growth than the overall U.S. economy. The Investment Manager typically seeks companies with: A strong business franchise that offers growth potential. Products and services in which the company has a competitive advantage. A stock price the Investment Manager believes is reasonable relative to the assets and earning power of the company. The Investment Manager may sell a portfolio holding if the security reaches the Investment Manager's price target, if the company has a deterioration of fundamentals, such as failing to meet key operating benchmarks, or if the Investment Manager believes other securities are more attractive. The Investment Manager also may sell a portfolio holding to fund redemptions.
