The Sterling Capital Focus Equity ETF operates as an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF). Its primary objective is to surpass the performance of the Russell 1000 Growth Index by maintaining a concentrated portfolio of 15 to 30 individual stocks. The investment adviser utilizes a bottom-up fundamental research methodology, aiming to identify companies that, in their view, exhibit sustainable competitive advantages, clear opportunities for capital reinvestment, and robust, experienced management teams.
Typically, under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets, including any assets acquired through borrowing for investment, to equity securities. It is important to note that this fund maintains a non-diversified investment approach.
