ETF Investment Approach 

The ETF invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies that the investment team believes will deliver superior long-term growth in revenues and earnings.

This strategy employs a proprietary combination of bottom-up, fundamental research and systematic portfolio construction to derive a portfolio of growth stocks that reflects a compelling combination of opportunity, valuation and risk.

The investment team’s fundamental research seeks to identify large- and mid- capitalization companies that have superior prospects for long-term growth.

These companies typically possess a combination of the following characteristics: 

  • Structural competitive advantage. 
  • Industry leadership and innovation. 
  • Strong cash flow generation and reinvestment. 
  • Balance sheet strength. 
  • Experienced leadership able to execute on the business opportunity. 

The investment team uses systematic portfolio construction to achieve characteristics and risk exposures consistent with the Fund’s objective. Portfolio optimization tools are employed to incorporate the investment team’s fundamental growth insights, considering diversification and liquidity risk.

Important Information

Jennison Associates is a third-party subadviser to the Harbor Long-Term Growers ETF and the Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund.

Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. At times, a growth investing style may be out of favor with investors which could cause growth securities to underperform value or other equity securities.

Since the Fund may hold foreign securities, it may be subject to greater risks than funds invested only in the U.S. These risks are more severe for securities of issuers in emerging market regions. A non-diversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers, it is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio.

Investing involves risk, principal loss is possible. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The ETFs are new and have limited operating history to judge.
