The fund offers multiple share classes including Class A (COGAX), Class C (COGCX), Institutional (COGZX), Institutional 2 (CADIX), Institutional 3 (CGGYX), and Class R (COGRX), with holdings typically comprising 40-50 large-cap equities featuring weighted average market capitalization around $164 billion, trailing P/E ratios near 23.5, and price/book ratios of approximately 4.5; it benchmarks against the MSCI ACWI Index Net and exhibits high active share (97%) with geographic exposure spanning U.S. & Canada (about 63%), Asia (21%), and Europe (17%). Managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, a subsidiary of Columbia Threadneedle Investments headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the fund was incepted on April 30, 2008, as part of Columbia Funds Series Trust and operates within the World Large Stock category targeting institutional and retail investors seeking global equity growth exposure. In a major strategic shift announced in early 2020, shares of the fund reorganized and were acquired by Columbia Select Global Equity Fund during the third quarter of that year, resulting in the effective closure of COGRX to new investments thereafter.
