According to the press release, the fund's portfolio will constitute securities of companies which are at various stages of the earnings cycle aiming to provide the right balance between stability and opportunities. These three segments of the earnings cycle can be broadly bucketed as Earnings Stability, Earnings Upgrades and Earnings Turnaround. Such a combination will help to have (i) companies growing at a stable rate which provides a base, (ii) companies benefitting from a change in earnings cycle which can lead to valuation rerating and (iii) lastly, companies recovering from an adverse situation based on industry or management turnaround.
