Large-Cap Growth

Objective

The Large-Cap Growth folio was designed for investors seeking aggressive long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies with high earnings growth.

Strategy

The Large-Cap Growth folio consists of large-cap companies with high earnings growth potential as compared to the overall market. Large-cap companies are defined as having market capitalizations above $11 billion USD.

This folio focuses on the long-term growth potential of large companies that are well-established in their respective industries and with above-average earnings growth. These companies tend to enjoy strong market positions, seasoned management teams, solid financial conditions, and above-average earnings growth and profitability. This folio’s broad diversification opens it up to less volatility than more concentrated large-cap growth funds.

* Returns reflect unfunded model performance from the Inception Date to the present. Note that the data sources for determining the composition of the folio changed on 11/30/2018, which resulted in changes to the composition of the folio, and that performance after this date may differ from the performance using the prior data source. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a strategy has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings. No membership or trading fees (other than the indirect cost of the bid-ask spread applicable whenever a transaction is conducted) are included in reported performance.

Steps to Create This Folio

  1. We identified large-cap stocks as those having market capitalizations greater than $11 billion and consistent sales and earnings growth over the past year.
  2. We screened for stocks with above-average earnings growth and sales projections compared to the sector average.
  3. We ranked these large-cap stocks and targeted the sector weights to be comparable to those of the largest 500 securities ranked by market capitalization.
  4. We equally weighted all securities in the folio.

Number of Securities

There are generally 30 securities in this folio.

Update Frequency

Quarterly.

If the characteristics of the Folio have changed substantially, the securities included may change. Also, corporate actions, such as a merger, or other events may cause changes to the securities held at any time. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a folio has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings. RTGs are updated using market data from multiple sources including Zacks Investment Research ( www.zacks.com ), International Data Corporation (IDC) ( www.idc.com ), and other suppliers.
