Alpha: A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta.

Beta: A measure of systematic risk with respect to a benchmark. Systematic risk is the tendency of the value of the portfolio and the value of benchmark to move together.

Sharpe Ratio: A risk-adjusted measure calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.

Upside Capture: Upside Capture Ratio is a measure of the manager’s performance in periods when the market (benchmark) goes up. Upside Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in up markets relative to the market (benchmark) itself. The ratio is calculated by comparing the manager's returns in up-markets with that of a benchmark index.

Downside Capture: Downside Capture Ratio measures manager's performance in down markets. The ratio is calculated by dividing the manager's returns by the returns of the index during the down-market and multiplying that factor by 100. It is used to evaluate how well an investment manager performed relative to an index during periods when that index has dropped.

Information Ratio: Information Ratio measures a portfolio’s returns above a benchmark while accounting for the volatility of those excess returns. Calculated as Excess Return divided by Tracking Error.

Standard Deviation: Standard deviation measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean. It is calculated as the square root of the variance. Standard deviation is used as a measure of a relative riskiness of an asset.

Weighted Average Market Cap: A weighted average of the share price of each holding in the portfolio or benchmark multiplied by the number of shares outstanding for those respective holdings.

Polen Long-Term EPS Growth Estimate: represent Polen Capital's forward-looking, annualized projections for earnings per share (EPS) growth over a five-year period, expressed as a percentage. While subject to change as company fundamentals evolve, this represents what Polen Capital believes is a reasonable estimate at a given point in time. These Long-Term EPS Growth Estimates may be provided at the company and portfolio level, with the latter being a weighted average of company level estimates.

Net Debt/EBITDA: A measurement of financial leverage, calculated as a company's interest-bearing liabilities minus cash or cash equivalents, divided by its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). The ratio can be interpreted as the number of years it would take a given company to pay off its interest-bearing debt using EBITDA as a measure of operating earnings.

The P/E (Price-to-Earnings) Forward Ratio: A metric used to evaluate the valuation of a company relative to its expected earnings over the next 12 months. It helps assess whether a stock is over- or under-valued based on future potential earnings. To calculate the multiple, the company's share price is divided by the estimated earnings over the next 12 months. These ratios may be provided at the company and portfolio level, with the latter being a weighted average of company level estimates.

Return on Invested Capital ex Cash: A metric that can be used to determine a company’s efficiency at allocating capital and is measured by dividing operating profit after taxes by Invested Capital. Invested Capital is the combined value of equity and debt raised by the company - in this case excluding cash. This metric may be provided at the company and portfolio level, with the latter being a weighted average of company level metrics.

Active Share: Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager's portfolio that differs from the benchmark.

Annual Turnover: A measure that shows how often investments in a portfolio are bought and sold during a year. It is calculated by taking either the total dollar value of new securities purchased or of securities sold (whichever is less), divided by the portfolio’s average dollar value over the period.

The strategy integrates material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into research analysis as part of a comprehensive evaluation of a company’s long-term financial sustainability. There is a risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied, including but not limited to the integration of ESG factors into the research analysis, will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available. There is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved.
