Investment Goal
Rock Oak Core Growth Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of large companies selected for their growth potential.
Investment Approach
Rock Oak is a more diversified Oak Fund and will normally invest in 35 to 50 stocks. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of established U.S. companies with large market capitalization (usually defined as companies larger than $5 billion). The manager utilizes a combined approach of “top-down” analysis and “bottom-up” stock selection. The “top-down” approach takes into consideration long-term investment themes, such as globalization, demographics, productivity and innovation. As a result of the “top-down” analysis, the manager identifies sectors, industries and companies which it believes should benefit from the overall themes that the Adviser has observed. As part of the “bottom-up” stock selection, the investment process involves looking for individual companies with earnings growth potential that should exceed the earnings growth rate of the overall market over the long-term, and that may not be fully recognized by the market at large. The manager evaluates a number of different attributes, including the company’s specific market expertise or dominance, its competitive durability and pricing power, solid fundamentals, strong and ethical management, apparent commitment to shareholder interests, earnings growth rates that exceed those of the overall market and what the manager believes to be above-average growth potential with sustainable competitive advantage.
Although the Fund is diversified, its investment strategy often involves overweighting the Fund's position in the industry sectors that we believe hold the most growth potential.
