C000159170 Investment Objective and Strategy
Zevenbergen Genea Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Trust for Advised Portfolios.
Investment objective
The Zevenbergen Genea Funds (the Fund) investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Zevenbergen Genea Fund seeks to invest in companies benefitting from advancements in technology regardless of sector or industry. With a long-term investment horizon, the Adviser identifies companies with significant growth potential, strong competitive advantages, a sizeable addressable market, product differentiation and quality management. The Funds portfolio generally will contain 15-40 stocks of any market capitalization. The Fund may also invest in initial public offerings (IPOs). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in equity securities of small-, medium-, and large-capitalization issuers. The Fund may invest up to 100% in common stocks. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in equity securities of foreign issuers through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).
In determining whether an issuer is foreign, the Adviser will consider various factors including the location(s) of the issuers headquarters, legal organization, principal trading market and/or concentration of revenues. The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending upon the circumstances and as determined by the Adviser. The Fund is non-diversified and may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more issuer, industry, geographic region or sector of the global economy. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in the same sector or sectors. As of June 30, 2018, over 25% of the Funds assets were invested in securities within each of the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. The Advisers growth equity investment philosophy is predicated on company revenue, cash flow and earnings growth being the essential catalysts of stock price appreciation ( i.e.
, drivers to increase the price of stocks), combined with financial flexibility and experienced management offering competitive advantages during market downturns. The Adviser employs a research intensive, bottom-up strategy ( i.e. , greater emphasis on company specific performance rather than macroeconomic events and market cycles ) to identify investments meeting these criteria. The Adviser identifies company growth drivers by using a variety of both traditional ( e.g., management meetings, conference attendance, financial statement analysis, and Wall Street research) and unconventional ( e.g., monitoring private equity and venture capital activity by attending investment conferences, subscribing to and reviewing publications, including print and online private equity and venture capital newsletters and periodicals, as well as through product/service use) resources.
These drivers may include long-term product differentiation, customer demand, competitive positioning ( i.e., position a firm occupies in a market, or is trying to occupy, relative to its competition), and historical and projected industry growth. The Adviser attempts to adopt the viewpoint of a business owner when evaluating the operations of a business, identifying revenue sources, customer bases, products, and details of financing over extended periods of time. The Adviser maintains internally calculated estimates of revenue, cash flow and earnings growth incorporated in a valuation model designed to determine potential upside and downside stock price risk. With the Fund fully invested at all times (nominal cash balance), new securities must present compelling fundamentals ( i.e ., economics/financial condition of the underlying company) and valuation upside when compared to existing holdings before they are added to the portfolio.
As portfolio holdings are under continuous evaluation, the Adviser considers the sell decision a value-added aspect of the investment process. Sell decisions can occur for the following reasons: 1) a price target has been met, 2) fundamentals have changed or the established growth drivers have failed to develop as expected, and/or 3) stronger alternatives in growth and valuation exist elsewhere. The Advisers mission is to build shareholder wealth through ownership of quality high-growth, publicly-traded companies. Since the firms inception in 1987, the Adviser has applied a consistent philosophy and process to uncover businesses positioned to disrupt old industries, forge new markets and win the hearts and minds of customers. The Adviser manages the Fund with a long-term view; striving to invest in companies for the next decade, not one quarter or one year.
This perspective demands a focus on companies that have sustainable business models. Inherent in this research process is the assessment of company strengths and risk factors, whether business, regulatory, or market. The Advisers fundamental approach to stock selection (i.e., use of qualitative and quantitative analysis to identify overvalued and undervalued securities) naturally embeds consideration of material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, as the firm believes companies with durable corporate governance and business practices, coupled with strong growth prospects, deliver compelling returns over time. The Adviser believes ESG analysis is innate to its core research approach and helps the investment team form a clearer understanding of potential business benefits and risks.
The investment strategy incorporates formal research review of company-specific ESG factors in the decision-making process. However, ESG evaluation of a particular company is not the primary factor for Fund inclusion or exclusion.
