C000253498 Investment Objective and Strategy
NAA World Equity Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by New Age Alpha Funds Trust.
Investment objective
The NAA World Equity Income Fund (the Fund) seeks total return comprised of capital appreciation and current income.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Generally, the Fund intends to invest in dividend-yielding equity securities. The Fund is not limited in the percentage of assets it may invest in securities listed, traded, or dealt in any one country, region, or geographic area, and it may invest in several countries throughout the world, including emerging markets. While the Fund tends to focus its investments in equity securities of large capitalization companies, it can also invest in companies that represent a broad range of market capitalizations and will not be constrained by capitalization limits. At times, the Fund may thus invest a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-capitalization companies.
The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, common stock, REITs, preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), American Depositary Shares (ADS), convertible securities and warrants. Convertible securities are hybrid financial instruments that typically consist of bonds, debentures, or preferred shares that can be converted into a specified number of common or preferred shares of the issuing company, typically at the option of the security holder. The Fund invests in securities denominated in a wide variety of currencies. The Fund may invest in various investment vehicles, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other mutual funds, to manage its cash position or gain exposure to the equity markets or a particular sector of the equity markets.
These investments may be more liquid than investing directly in individual issuers. In selecting mutual funds and ETFs for investment, the Adviser will prioritize investments that align with and support the Funds overall strategy. The Fund may also hold up to 20% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in non-equity securities of foreign or U.S. issuers. These investments may include both investment-grade and high-yield fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in securities of investment grade quality. Investment grade quality means securities that are rated at the time of purchase Baa3 or higher by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), BBB- or higher by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (Standard & Poors), an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality.
High-yield securities, often referred to as below investment grade, include those rated below Baa3 by Moodys, BBB- by Standard & Poors, an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund will seek to reduce its interest rate or foreign currency exposure by engaging in transactions and derivatives designed to hedge against adverse movements in interest rates or foreign currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, spot market transactions, currency futures, swaps, and options. At times, the Fund may engage in extensive foreign currency hedging transactions. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser uses qualitative and quantitative analysis, and other proprietary strategies to identify securities that, in combination, are expected to contribute to exceeding the total return of the S&P Developed BMI Index by attempting to avoid the losers in the Index.
The avoid the losers philosophy is fundamental to the underlying actuarial-like approach of the Adviser with respect to asset management. In its attempts to generate alpha, the Adviser does not aim to pick the winners; instead, it aims to avoid the losers. A loser is a company that, according to the Advisers investment methodology, cannot deliver revenue growth to support its stock price. The Adviser has developed a probability-based measure to identify and avoid these stocks, called the h-factor (h-factor), which is the foundation of the Advisers investment philosophy. The h-factor measures the probability a company cannot deliver the revenue growth indicated by its stock price. In buying and selling securities for the Fund, the Adviser will apply its proprietary h-factor methodology to its security selection process.
H-factor uses an algorithm rooted in actuarial risk principles to construct a portfolio with exposure to returns across sectors, styles, geographies, and asset classes. Using an actuarial-based approach, h-factor aims to identify underpriced and overpriced securities and assign them an h-factor score, which is the probability that the issuer will not deliver revenue growth to support the securities current price. By assigning these scores, the Adviser seeks to avoid the overpriced securities and invest in the underpriced securities. The Fund will sell investments when they no longer meet the Advisers investment criteria, market conditions change, to meet redemption requests, or close or unwind derivatives transactions. Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently.
This may result in higher transaction costs and more capital gains tax liabilities than a fund with a buy and hold strategy.
