OVERVIEW
Crossmark Large Cap Growth strategy seeks to outperform the investment benchmark (the Russell 1000 Growth Index) over a market cycle. The strategy’s investment process employs a combination of fundamental and quantitative factors, values-based criteria, and prudent portfolio constraints and risk management tools with the goal of long-term capital appreciation. Factors utilized in the traditional multi-factor model include earnings quality, profitability, growth dynamics, valuation and capital deployment. The strategy is subject to Crossmark’s values-based screening methodology and utilizes values- based data from 3rd party providers as well as our in-house research team. The risk management process involves set parameters around issuers, sectors, industries and risk factors as compared to a widely recognized large and mega-cap growth-oriented equity index. The number of holdings in this strategy averages 45-60, investing with an emphasis on large and mega-cap companies.

Resources
The Crossmark Large Cap Growth strategy is comprised of accounts that are invested in stocks of large and mega-cap growth-oriented U.S. companies using Crossmark’s values-based screening, and seeks to outperform the investment benchmark over a market cycle. The Large Cap Growth Composite is comprised of all discretionary, fee-paying, commission-based, dual contract and/or separately managed accounts that are managed according to this strategy. The composite has a creation date and inception date of July 1, 2021. The primary benchmark for this composite is the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large cap growth segment of the US equity universe.
Index returns shown assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.
The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. The performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings to the extent that client accounts included in the composite elected to reinvest dividends and earnings. Performance figures shown gross of fees do not reflect the payment of investment advisory fees.

All Investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Large Cap Growth strategy may not achieve its objective if the managers’ expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. Equity investments generally involve two principal risks—market risk and selection risk. The value of equity securities will rise and fall in response to general market and/or economic conditions (equity market risk). The value of any individual equity security will rise and fall in response to the market’s perception of the issuer’s revenues, earnings, balance sheet, credit worthiness, business plan, and overall perception of the viability of the issuer’s business (selection risk).
The Strategy’s values-based screening policies exclude certain securities issuers from the universe of otherwise available investments. As a result, the Strategy may not achieve the same level of performance as it otherwise would have in the absence of the screening process. If the Strategy has invested in a company that is later discovered to be in violation of one or more screening criteria and liquidation of an investment in that company is required, selling the securities at issue could result in a loss to the Fund. Further, the Strategy’s values-based screening policies may prevent the Strategy from participating in an otherwise suitable investment opportunity.
