  • The Small Cap Select SRI product is a small core strategy benchmarked to the Russell 2000® Index.
  • Select SRI caters to institutional investors whose investment guidelines include social restrictions.
  • The Portfolio Manager employs a “buy and hold” approach emphasizing investment in companies he believes are solid rather than trading stocks.
  • The Portfolio Manager stresses Return On Equity (ROE), and companies in the portfolio typically have a higher ROE than the index.
  • Portfolios generally demonstrate valuations below and growth characteristics at or above those of the Russell 2000® benchmark.
  • Portfolios are actively managed using a bottom-up investment approach and the Portfolio Manager does not attempt to time the markets.
  • Portfolios generally hold between 40 and 55 stocks, with no one stock typically exceeding 5% of a total portfolio.

The objective of the Small Cap Select SRI product is to consistently outperform the Russell 2000® Index over a complete market cycle. Manager seeks to achieve this performance while avoiding investing in companies engaged in businesses that religious clients typically find objectionable. Portfolios are comprised of a combination of small cap growth and small cap value stocks, resulting in portfolios with characteristics generally reflective of those of the Russell 2000® benchmark. Manager looks for inefficiencies in the small cap universe, focusing on companies that in his opinion have demonstrated the potential to deliver superior cash-flow returns to shareholders.

The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2000® is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set.

The Russell 2000® Index is used as the benchmark.  The Index is unmanaged and represents total returns including reinvestment of dividends.  The benchmark is used for comparative purposes only and generally reflects the comparable risk or investment style of the Firm's strategy.  The investment portfolios underlying the Index are different from the investments in the portfolios managed by the Firm.  Certain accounts may also use other benchmarks not listed in the Annual Disclosure Presentation.  The Composite Disclosure Presentation does not cover the benchmark returns included in the Annual Disclosure Presentation.

The performance figures reported herein are unaudited, may be based upon information obtained via electronic data sources (”feeds”) and may be subject to change. Data feeds from many of KCM clients' selected custodians are obtained through third party, and are used to compare custodial data to KCM's client account records as frequently as daily. In some instances, variances are noted and aggregated until each month-end, so long as such aggregated variances amount to less than one percent of the prior month-end market value of the account. All such variances are typically reconciled to the applicable account no later than each month-end. Variances of one percent or more will generally be reconciled to the account promptly upon detection.

Composite specific data provided within this presentation has been calculated from accounts that are discretionary as defined in this paragraph. The assets shown are derived only from discretionary accounts. Non-discretionary accounts, as defined by KCM, are accounts that are not included in the composite due to one or both of the following criteria: there were significant cash inflows or outflows within the account and/or the account's asset level did not meet the minimum requirement to remain in the composite. The temporary removal of such an account occurs at the beginning of the month and the account re-enters the composite the month after the criteria has been met.
