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.","PeriodicalId":336702,"journal":{"name":"Alternative Assessments","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127734520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
