The firm continues to address client demand by diversifying its mutual fund lineup with new strategies which will drive additional asset growth.
The Oak Ridge Disciplined Growth Fund (ODGIX) invests in U.S. companies growing at above average rates across the market cap range. This fund follows the long-running, fundamentally driven 15 year track record of the Oak Ridge All Cap Growth strategy managed by Robert McVicker. The investment objective of the fund seeks long-term growth of capital, in pursuing its objective the fund aims to outperform the Russell 3000 Growth Index.
The Oak Ridge Technology Insights Fund (ORTHX) invests in a universe of innovative companies benefiting from the use or application of technology. Portfolio managers Robert Corman and Terence Quinn will use their specialized focus to invest in companies driving market share gains which should lead to sustained earnings growth. The investment objective of the fund is long-term growth of capital, and seeks to outperform the S&P North American Technology Index.
The Oak Ridge Global Equity Fund (OGESX) is sub-advised by Algert Global, LLC. This global strategy focuses on analyzing inefficiencies in developed equity markets that result from investor behavioral biases and will be benchmarked against the MSCI World Index. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Through a systematic process, the fund aims to invest in companies with solid fundamentals, attractive relative valuations, and measureable market catalysts.

New products will be instrumental in achieving these objectives.”
