Andrew Braun and Sean Gallagher serve as Co-Chief Investment Officers of the Value Investment Team. The other portfolio managers serve as primary research analysts for particular industries. While the entire team debates investment ideas and overall portfolio structure, the final buy/sell decision for a particular security resides primarily with the portfolio manager responsible for that particular industry. As Co-Chief Investment Officers of the team, Mr. Braun and Mr. Gallagher are ultimately responsible for the composition of the Funds’ portfolio structure at both the stock and industry level.
