COGEX Investment Objective and Strategy
Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Trailmark Series Trust.
Investment objective
Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund (the Growth Fund) seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
The Growth Funds principal investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Growth Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing equity securities that the Adviser believes are likely to appreciate. It generally seeks to purchase equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies, and may purchase American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of international companies trading on U.S. exchanges, that exhibit accelerating growth in earnings and revenue. The Growth Fund may invest across different industries and sectors. The Growth Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities that have a market capitalization at the time of investment comparable to securities held in the Russell 1000 Index. As of September 30, 2018, the Russell 1000 Index includes U.S. companies with a market capitalization greater than $2.5 billion.
The Adviser uses quantitative screens to evaluate liquidity, capitalization, domicile and desired risk attributes to determine an initial universe of large capitalization companies from which the Growth Fund may invest. The Adviser then uses a quantitative process to evaluate the company fundamentals and stocks price trends of the investment candidates. Macroeconomic influences on portfolio candidates are considered before selecting the final securities for purchase in the portfolio. The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when the security receives declining scores from the Advisers proprietary model or the security causes the Growth Funds portfolio to be exposed to unintended risks. The periodic reconstitution and rebalancing of the portfolio according to the Growth Funds quantitative investment strategy may result in significant portfolio turnover.
A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction expenses, which may negatively affect the Growth Funds performance. High portfolio turnover also may result in the realization of substantial net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders.
