Jantz Morgan Small-Cap ESG Portfolio

The Jantz Morgan Small-Cap ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) portfolio is an actively managed portfolio of small-cap domestic sustainable and responsible companies.  Our mission is to provide a diversified socially responsible investment fund that has at its core an emphasis on performance and positive values while promoting a more sustainable world.  We seek to give preference to firms which: Are in compliance with government environmental regulations and are working to reduce their impact on the environment; Treat their employees fairly, offer reasonable benefits and provide a safe workplace; and, Practice good corporate citizenship and fair dealing in their communities, free of discriminatory practices.

Management for total return rather than to a benchmark also increases the performance capabilities of the firm’s Small-Cap ESG portfolio.  Consequently the portfolio does not track the benchmark and for periods may even under-perform it.  Nevertheless, the result is a potentially higher long-term average level of return at a level of risk designed to be somewhat higher than that of an S&P 600 index fund.

Further, Jantz Morgan’s Small-Cap ESG portfolio is sector agnostic, allowing the fund to capture the full benefit of market mispricings without regard to industry sector.  Risk is reduced through diversification by holding positions in a substantial number of S&P 600 equities – 80 on average.  The size of each position is weighted to enhance risk-adjusted return to the portfolio with target weights at the time of portfolio rebalance of no greater than 3.0%.  Finally, gains are harvested based on monthly re-evaluations of the entire S&P 600.
