Davidson has guided this strategy for more than two decades but will step down at the end of 2022. The loss of longtime lead manager Phil Davidson from American Century Equity Income ( TWEIX) led to the downgrade of the strategy’s four cheaper shares to Bronze from Silver, while the four more-expensive ones dropped to Neutral from Silver or Bronze. The fund has struggled recently, but the managers’ distinct approaches have helped the fund perform well across market cycles. The portfolio consistently lands in the growth portion of the Morningstar Style Box, but it's not as aggressive as many peers. Capital Group’s three equity subsidiaries, each of which draws on about 50 analysts, split up the assets and the managers look for attractive growth stocks in independently run portfolio sleeves. The managers’ experience, tenures at the firm, and past successes drive this fund’s High People rating. A multimanager structure enables this fund to handle its massive-roughly $135 billion-asset base. Owing to some peer changes in the foreign large-growth Morningstar Category, American Funds EuroPacific Growth’s ( AEPGX) eight cheapest share classes were upgraded to Gold from Silver. Most assets are invested in Gold- and Silver-rated funds, a standard that few other allocation strategies can match. It focused on American Funds’ fund-of-funds strategies, whose underlying funds have some of the most-experienced and well-resourced teams in the industry. Capital Group has added personnel and resources to its portfolio solutions committee that oversees this strategy’s asset allocation, fund selection, and monitoring.

“I don’t know that it’s going to teach any habits. “I think it’s good right now,” Toub said. Chiefs assistant HC and special teams coordinator Dave Toub doesn’t know if that will actually be the case, but he thinks it’ll be a worthwhile endeavor if it reduces head injuries.
Part of the NFL’s reasoning behind mandating these caps is to help players form better habits, which could influence safer play during the regular season. Hopefully, we can get rid of those so we don’t have to wear them again.” “We’re just out here wearing mushroom helmets that are doing nothing but adding weight to our heads. “I think the guardian caps are silly,” Kelce said. Players understand that these new measures are done with their safety in mind, but after wearing them for two weeks at training camp, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce still isn’t a fan. If two players are wearing it, it reduces the impact severity by 20%. If only one player is wearing it, there is a 10% reduction in the severity of impact. This new safety measure is said to help fight against concussions during the point of the year when they most frequently occur.Īccording to the NFL, wearing these soft shells over helmets results in a significant reduction of impact in head-to-head collisions. The NFL competition committee mandated the use of these new “Guardian Caps” during practice for offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers and tight ends throughout training camp. Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce isn’t a fan of wearing the NFL’s new “Guardian Caps.”
