Investment Objective
The Technology Portfolio, Series 6 ("Trust") seeks to maximize total return through capital appreciation.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Trust consists of 44 stocks classified as being in the information technology sector by the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”). The Trust is diversified across the information technology sector and includes stocks of companies from the following industries: communications equipment, computers and peripherals, electronic equipment and instruments, internet software and services, IT services, office electronics, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and software. The Sponsor selects stocks for the Trust within the sector that it believes have the potential to achieve the Trust’s investment objective.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The Sponsor selects domestically-traded companies that it believes are core holdings of a well-diversified technology portfolio. To select the portfolio the Sponsor follows a very disciplined process which includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The Sponsor begins with the approximately 500 companies that are in the Russell 3000® Index and are classified as being in the information technology sector. The Sponsor then reduces the 500 companies to approximately 150 by performing quantitative screening, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:
- Valuation. The Sponsor may screen for reasonably valued companies based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow.
- Growth. The Sponsor may screen for companies with a history of better than average growth of revenues, earnings and dividends (if applicable).
- Profitability. The Sponsor may screen for companies with a history of consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.
The Sponsor then reduces the 150 companies to 44 by performing qualitative analysis, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:
- Balance Sheet. The Sponsor favors companies that possess overall financial strength and exhibit balance sheet improvements relative to their peers and the marketplace.
- Industry Leadership. The Sponsor favors companies that possess a strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers.
- Valuation. The Sponsor favors companies whose valuations appear to be attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow.
- Growth. The Sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) better than average growth of revenues, earnings and dividends (if applicable).
- Profitability. The Sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.
