About
ESSC aims for long-term capital appreciation by investing in small-cap US companies. The actively managed fund uses a long-only investment approach and seeks to generate performance like its market cap-weighted benchmark index of the smallest 2,000 companies in the US. The fund selects at least 100 companies using fundamental research that includes a values-based screening inspired by the Christian faith. The fund caps an industry or industry group by 25%, except when it represents 20% or more of the benchmark, allowing them to go up to 35%. While actively managing the fund, the adviser monitors its holdings with full discretion to adjust the portfolio as necessary using research, quantitative modeling, and risk tools.
