Texas-Based

This strategy aims to provide exposure to US. domestic markets via companies based in one of the most business friendly states: Texas. In addition to having a GDP that dwarfs many countries (The Economist has compared the size of the Texas GOP to that of Russia's - Economist.com), Texas has been highly ranked by Forbes' "The Best States For Business And Careers” (Forbes.com)  as well as CNBC’s "America's Top States for Business" (CNBC.com).

We look to capitalize on discounts to fair value, while taking advantage of a large economy and business friendly government.
Adding companies from Texas can help strengthen an investor’s entire portfolio in several ways. They provide overall diversification to U.S. domestic equity given the broad array of industries in Texas. The business results of companies that operate in such a large economy are partially buffered from issues faced by the U.S. economy at large, such as unemployment and tightened credit, because the firms have the size to adjust on a smaller economic scale, but a large enough scale to make a difference. Additionally, operating in a business friendly government environment helps foster growth because of the low tax burden.
A Morningstar screen identifies companies that are based in Texas, traded on United States stock exchanges, and sell at a discount to fair value. Additional research is performed using publicly available information (e.g., financial statements, prospectuses) to determine company strength and stability. Other factors, such as the macroeconomic environment and government regulation, are also considered before a purchase is made.
The model will have up to 10 holdings with each having a weighting of no more than approximately 15% of the model. This model may hold cash as it waits for opportunities.
Selling occurs when a holding hits a predetermined target price, develops problems with its operations, or can be replaced by a more attractively valued holding.
None.
