C000167587 Investment Objective and Strategy
Centerstone Investors Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Centerstone Investors Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Centerstone Investors Fund (the Investors Fund) is to seek long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
To achieve its objective of long-term capital growth, the Investors Fund will normally invest at least 60% of its net assets in equity and equity related securities and up to 40% of its total assets in fixed income instruments (without regard to credit rating or time to maturity). The Investors Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents. The Investors Fund primarily invests its assets in common stocks (and securities convertible into common stocks) of U.S. and foreign companies. The Investors Fund may also invest in foreign and domestic preferred equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The Investors Fund may generally invest in the following fixed income securities: notes, bills and debentures, bank debt obligations, high-yield debt securities rated below investment grade, convertible securities, Rule 144A securities (Rule 144A securities are restricted securities that can be resold to qualified institutional buyers but not to the general public); and securities issued by supranational organizations and sovereign debt securities.
The Investors Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in lower-rated or defaulted debt securities (including so-called junk bonds), corporate debt, comparable unrated debt securities, or other indebtedness (or participations in the indebtedness) of such companies. The Investors Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in precious metals such as gold or silver, or in instruments related to such precious metals such as commodity contracts, options on such contracts, structured notes and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Investors Fund may invest in the foregoing securities or assets directly or gain exposure to such securities or assets indirectly by investing in ETFs or other investment companies. The Investors Fund particularly seeks companies that have financial strength and stability, strong management and fundamental value.
The Adviser will follow a global, bottom-up oriented long-term investment philosophy. The Investors Fund will focus its investments in areas where the Adviser finds the most compelling opportunities at any given moment and on situations that, in the Advisers opinion, have the potential for capital appreciation. The investment philosophy and strategy of the Investors Fund seeks a margin of safety in investments with the goal being to avoid permanent impairment of capital (as opposed to temporary losses in share value relating to shifting investor sentiment or other normal share price volatility). In particular, a discount to intrinsic value is sought even for the best of businesses, with a deeper discount demanded for companies that the Adviser views as under business model, balance sheet, management or other stresses.
Investment decisions for the Investors Fund are made without regard to the capitalization (size) of the companies in which it invests. The Investors Fund may invest in any size company, including large, medium and smaller companies. Under normal circumstances, the Investors Fund anticipates it will allocate a significant amount of its net assets to foreign investments. That generally means that at least 15% of the Investors Funds net assets will be allocated to foreign investments (the Investors Fund expects at least 30% of its equity investments will normally be in foreign equities). The Adviser may invest the Investors Funds assets in any region of the world. It may invest in companies based in emerging markets, typically in the Far East, Latin America and Eastern Europe, however, the emphasis will be in companies operating in developed countries, such as those of the U.S., Canada, Japan and Western Europe.
The Investors Fund may invest a portion of its assets in derivative instruments. These include forward contracts and futures contracts. The Investors Fund may invest in derivatives primarily to seek to hedge exposure to certain markets and securities and/or for speculative (i.e., non-hedging) purposes. The Investors Fund may seek to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies, typically through the use of foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward contracts and may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies or to generate income or gains. The Adviser will consider selling a security when it determines that such security no longer offers fundamental value or financial strength and stability.
