The Columbia Contrarian Core Fund generally allocates at least 80% of its total net assets, encompassing any borrowed funds, to common equity holdings. Furthermore, under typical market conditions, a minimum of 80% of its net assets are invested in U.S.-based companies with significant market capitalizations, generally exceeding $2 billion. The fund's manager targets these U.S. firms specifically because they are believed to be undervalued, while also offering solid prospects for sustained growth and recurring income.
