- Investment Managers Series Trust - KL Allocation Fund (Advisor Class) (GAVAX) is a mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation with an emphasis on capital preservation through a dynamic allocation strategy across three primary asset classes: equities, fixed income securities, and cash or cash equivalents. The fund invests directly in equity and fixed income securities or through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, and other investment companies, with allocations shifting based on market conditions to manage risk and pursue returns; it may also employ derivatives such as futures, options, and swaps for hedging or efficient portfolio management. As part of the Investment Managers Series Trust (IMST), a registered open-end investment company organized under Delaware law, the fund offers Advisor Class shares (GAVAX) and Institutional Class shares (GAVIX) primarily to financial intermediaries and institutional investors. The fund operates within the tactical asset allocation segment of the mutual fund industry, targeting investors seeking balanced exposure to global markets with downside protection; its portfolio turnover reflects active management, recently reported at 140%. Geographically, the fund invests in securities worldwide without limitation, including U.S. and non-U.S. issuers across developed and emerging markets. IMST serves as the issuer, with the fund subadvised by a Denver, Colorado-based investment advisor founded in 2006. Previously known as the GaveKal Knowledge Leaders Fund or GaveKal Platform Company Fund prior to a name change to KL Allocation Fund, the fund underwent a rebranding supplement effective immediately to reflect its current allocation-focused strategy while retaining its investment objective and principal strategies. This reorganization aligns with management by Investment Managers Series Trust, with recent SEC filings including N-PORT reports through 2024 confirming ongoing operations and portfolio disclosures. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or new product launches have been reported in the last 1-2 years, with the focus remaining on its core multi-asset allocation approach.
