Above and Beyond
The Cavanal Hill Opportunistic Fund (AIOPX) has been recognized with a Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award for the fifth time since 2015.
For more than 30 years, these highly respected awards have honored funds and fund management firms that excel in providing consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. Winners are selected based on entirely objective, quantitative criteria. This—coupled with an unmatched depth of fund data—results in a unique level of prestige and ensures the award has lasting value.
“Lipper awards are the gold standard for recognition,” said @Brandon Barnes, who manages the fund with @Matt Stephani. “To get one is a big deal, and to get several for the same fund in multiple years is a real testament to our entire research team.”
The fund earned the 2021 award for superior risk-adjusted performance versus 47 peers in the Absolute Return category for the 10-year period ended Nov. 30, 2021.
“Flexibility is key to the fund’s performance—the flexibility to invest almost anywhere in capital markets—but also our ability to modulate market exposure,” said Brandon. “In periods of uncertainty—today it’s Ukraine, in four months it could be something else that we didn’t anticipate—the ability to have a flexible fund becomes a positive in terms of performance, but also in terms of attractiveness for our clients as an alternative among all their mutual fund choices.”
Brandon’s research team – @Michael Schloss, @Vincent Nguyen, @Kendall Toyne and @Ben Wolthuizen— pursues investment opportunities across all asset classes and sectors. Investments can include equities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), fixed income securities, preferred stocks, ETFs, options, and commodities. And while most mutual funds are long—or 100% invested—all the time, a key aspect of the Opportunistic Fund is that it can be flexible with market exposure.
Congratulations to the fund’s management team.
