The investable universe effectively consists of the more attractive stocks in the S&P 500 from a fundamental and quantitative perspective.

Equity Income
The Managers employ a Quality at a Reasonable Price (QUARP®) investment approach that focuses on investing in a diversified portfolio of securities that pay a dividend or distribution while incorporating a capital preservation philosophy. Strict due diligence measures include both top-down and bottom-up analysis in determining security selection. Companies included in the portfolio represent best-in-class businesses that are dominant in their industry, have strong balance sheets and a history of increasing cash flows. Securities are purchased at a reasonable price which is defined as having an attractive valuation.
