What is a Basket?
It is an investment model that is managed by a professional portfolio manager on a discretionary basis in your brokerage account. You directly own its underlying securities and receive the dividends and/or interest paid.
Investment Strategy
The investment objective of the basket is to provide investors with long-term growth, primarily through capital appreciation, by investing in a focused portfolio primarily consisting of International American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
