Portfolio
Overview
The investment objective of the Edgewood Growth Fund (the "Fund") is to provide long-term growth of capital. There is no guarantee the fund will achieve its stated objective.
The Edgewood Growth Fund is a growth equity mutual fund with an institutional and retail share class. The fund pursues long-term capital growth through a portfolio of 22 stocks of mid-to-large size companies. We believe these companies are distinguished by their financial strength, levels of profitability, strong management, and ability to potentially deliver long-term earnings power. The Fund's performance is typically benchmarked against the S&P 500 Growth Index over a full-market cycle.
The following are the minimum investment requirements of our no load mutual funds. While it is no load, there may still be expenses associated with the fund:
- Edgewood Growth Fund (Institutional Shares): $100,000
- Edgewood Growth Fund (Retail Shares): $3,000
