1-2 YRS 3-4 YRS 5-6 YRS 7+ YRS VIEWPOINT & RATING The Fund is managed by Evans and Partners' Sydney-based global equities team. The Fund provides investors with a concentrated, fundamental value style exposure to the global equities market with a multi-national industrial sector bias. Given the Fund's concentrated investment process, Zenith believes Evans and Partners is adequately resourced to manage the Fund. However, our conviction is moderated by the investment team's limited experience working together and relatively short, albeit impressive, track record. Zenith rates the Fund APPROVED. Evans and Partners is a diversified wealth, advisory and asset management business, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Incorporated in April 2007, Evans and Partners has offices in both Sydney and Melbourne, and is wholly owned by staff and board members. Evans and Partners' services include asset management, institutional and corporate advisory, private wealth and managed accounts. As at 30 September 2016, Evans and Partners had funds under management of $A 927 million in its global equities strategy. In September 2016, Evans and Partners announced a merger with Dixon Advisory to form Evans Dixon, a diversified wealth management business. Evans and Partners will retain its independence but the deal will add scale to its existing asset management division. Zenith believes such corporate activity has the potential to be disruptive. As a result, we will continue to monitor the transition closely. The Evans and Partners global equity investment team of four is led by Stephen Arnold, who retains ultimate responsibility for the Fund. Prior to joining Evans and Partners, Arnold was a senior analyst at Global Value Investors and held a number of investment management roles in London. With over 25 years investment management experience, Zenith believes Arnold is a competent and capable investor. However, we believe that he has limited portfolio management experience relative to peers. Arnold is directly supported in the management of the Fund by Nick Cregan. Evans and Partners' investment philosophy is based on the belief that owning a concentrated portfolio of wealth-creating businesses enables investors to earn above market returns over the cycle. By using conservative valuation techniques, Evans and Partners seeks to identify companies which can earn high cash returns on invested capital and trade at a discount to their intrinsic value. Evans and Partners expects the majority of the Fund's performance to be an outcome of its value investment process. Although the Fund has a limited track record, Zenith believes Evans and Partners' process is sound, and we gain conviction from the in-depth fundamental research conducted by the investment team. Zenith considers the management cost applicable to the Fund to be higher than most of its global equity peers.
1-2年3-4年5-6年7+年观点和评级本基金由Evans and Partners驻悉尼的全球股票团队管理。本基金为投资者提供集中的基本价值投资方式,投资于全球股票市场,并以多国工业部门为主。鉴于该基金的集中投资流程,Zenith认为Evans and Partners拥有足够的资源来管理该基金。然而,我们的信心受到投资团队合作经验有限和业绩记录相对较短(尽管令人印象深刻)的影响。已核准基金的最高利率。Evans and Partners是一家多元化的财富、咨询和资产管理公司,总部位于澳大利亚墨尔本。Evans and Partners成立于2007年4月,在悉尼和墨尔本均设有办事处,由员工和董事会成员全资拥有。Evans and Partners的服务包括资产管理、机构和企业咨询、私人财富和管理账户。截至2016年9月30日,Evans and Partners在其全球股票策略中管理的资金为9.27亿澳元。2016年9月,Evans and Partners宣布与Dixon Advisory合并,成立多元化财富管理业务Evans Dixon。Evans and Partners将保留其独立性,但该交易将扩大其现有资产管理部门的规模。Zenith认为,此类企业活动可能具有破坏性。因此,我们将继续密切关注这一过渡。Evans and Partners全球股票投资团队由四人组成,由斯蒂芬•阿诺德(Stephen Arnold)领导,他对该基金仍负有最终责任。在加入Evans and Partners之前,Arnold是Global Value Investors的高级分析师,并在伦敦担任多个投资管理职位。凭借超过25年的投资管理经验,Zenith相信Arnold是一位有能力的投资者。然而,我们相信相对于同行,他的投资组合管理经验是有限的。Nick Cregan直接支持Arnold管理该基金。埃文斯和合伙人的投资理念是基于这样一种信念:拥有一个集中的创造财富的企业投资组合,使投资者能够在周期中获得高于市场的回报。通过使用保守的估值技术,Evans和Partners寻求识别能够从投资资本中获得高现金回报并以低于其内在价值的价格进行交易的公司。Evans and Partners预计,该基金的大部分业绩将是其价值投资过程的结果。虽然该基金的业绩记录有限,但Zenith认为Evans和Partners的流程是合理的,我们从投资团队进行的深入的基础研究中获得了信念。Zenith认为,适用于该基金的管理成本高于大多数全球同类基金。

The underrepresentation of minority children in classes for the gifted has been and continues to be one of the most important problems facing educators of gifted students (Ford, 1998; Naglieri & Ford, 2005). The severity of the problem was made obvious in the United States Department of Education’s recent report that Black, Hispanic, and Native American students are underrepresented by 50–70% in gifted education programs (Naglieri & Ford, 2003). Efforts to address this situation include, for example, use of multiple criteria for inclusion, refinement of the referral procedures, and reexamination of the very definition of the term gifted. Some have argued that the content of the ability tests used and procedures followed fail to take into consideration the characteristics of culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse populations (Frazier et al., 1995; Naglieri & Ford, 2005). The concept of intelligence has been defined by the tests used to measure this construct since the early 1900s. Traditional intelligence tests have had the now familiar verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal format since Binet and Simon (1905) and Wechsler (1939) published their influential tests. The division 4
