Investment Objective

The fund aims to achieve a return consisting of both income and capital growth, which, after all fees and expenses, exceeds that of the Russell 1000 TR Index over a five-year period.

This fund is managed by T. Rowe Price, alongside State Street Global Advisers (SSGA). SSGA will invest a portion of the fund using a passive investing approach, seeking to track the fund’s benchmark of the Russell 1000 index. T. Rowe Price will invest a portion of the fund actively and seek to outperform the benchmark. The combined effect of these different investment approaches should help the fund meet its investment objective.

T. Rowe Price

The T. Rowe Price investment process spans both market cap and investment style. The strategy seeks to deliver strong returns in a variety of market conditions. The approach provides the flexibility to capitalise on a wide range of opportunities presented by the market and the nimbleness to adjust to changing market conditions in the pursuit of strong performance.

An experienced pool of research analysts is integral to the idea generation process. The analysts are industry specialists, focused on evaluating companies within a particular sector, and possess deep knowledge of the individual businesses they cover. Analysts promote their highest conviction investment recommendations to the strategy’s portfolio manager, Justin White, who stress tests analysts’ ideas and assumptions and overlays his own disciplined investment framework.

T. Rowe Price manages their portion of the fund actively, and the manager has full discretion when choosing assets to invest in.

SSGA

SSGA has a well-resourced, experienced indexing team that pays attention to the thousands of details that can impact the risk and return of a passive strategy’s index matching performance. To deliver the best possible outcomes, SSGA focuses on the following key areas:

  • Skilled Team: The fund is managed by a tenured group, consisting of over 150 investment professionals dedicated to indexing strategies. The Omnis US Equity Leaders Fund portfolio manager is Zehra Sayeed. Zehra is the primary decision-maker and accountable for the portfolio’s results.
  • Leading Technology: SSGA uses state-of-the-art proprietary and third-party technology to assess the portfolio’s risks and provide the flexibility to incorporate value-add efficiencies and pursue tactical opportunities.
  • Implementation: SSGA’s 24-hour global trading capabilities minimizes trading costs for the fund and respond to any changes in the fund’s index.
