Objective
The Rainier Large Cap Equity Strategy seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests in a diversified strategy of common stocks of U.S. companies. Rainier selects investments from companies of all sizes. Highly speculative or illiquid stocks are not candidates for the Strategy. Risk control is an important element in the construction of the Strategy. To control risk, extreme overweighting or underweighting of the Strategy relative to the S&P 500® is normally avoided. To thoroughly diversify, the Strategy consists of 75 to 150 different stocks, each making up a relatively small portion of the Strategy.
Rainier employs a Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) investment philosophy in the management of the Strategy. The GARP approach provides an opportunity to invest in companies with superior earnings growth whose equities are selling at attractive valuations.
