SWS Growth Equity Strategy

 

Important Disclosures

Performance results and comparisons are made on a total-return basis, which includes all income from dividends and interest, and realized and unrealized gains or losses. SWS Growth Equity’s stated benchmark is the Russell 1000 Growth Index, with S&P 500 Index and Russell 100 Value Index results provided as a reference. SWS Growth Equity returns are shown net of the firm’s maximum advisory fees and are calculated by geometrically linking month-end market values of the strategy’s inception cohort. Net returns include the time-weighted deduction of the firm’s maximum wrap fee (which includes both SWS’s management fee and trading costs) and assume all cash flows occur at month-end.

“Alpha” is calculated by showing a hypothetical $1 million portfolio invested in the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the S&P 500 Index, and the Russell 1000 Value Index for the period 5/1/2018-6/30/2021. Each is then netted from a hypothetical $1 million portfolio of SWS Growth Equity over the same time period, assuming total return net of the firm’s maximum advisory fee and net of trading costs. It is not possible for investors to invest directly in an index.
