American Beacon Advisors Expands Product Lineup With American Beacon SGA Global Growth Fund

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Beacon Advisors ("American Beacon"), an experienced provider of investment advisory services to retail and institutional clients, announces the addition of the American Beacon SGA Global Growth Fund (Institutional Class: SGAGX, A Class: SGAAX) to its platform.

"The adoption of this Fund is part of our ongoing effort to incorporate strategies from what we believe to be the best asset managers in the industry into the suite of products we offer investors," said Gene L. Needles Jr., American Beacon President and Chief Executive Officer. "This Fund may provide investors with steady returns and additional portfolio diversification through exposure to high-quality and high-growth equities."

The American Beacon SGA Global Growth Fund seeks to achieve growth and long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks of companies around the world that display pricing power, repeat revenues, global opportunity, financial strength, and management strength. The Fund's sub-advisor, Sustainable Growth Advisers ("SGA"), utilizes fundamental analysis and a cash-flow-based valuation process to identify those select companies offering predictable, sustainable and above-average growth. The Fund is benchmark-indifferent in portfolio construction, and its portfolio managers only invest in companies that they believe possess the most promising growth potential.

"Everything we do is geared toward identifying those few businesses that share a certain set of characteristics that lead to a very high level of investment conviction," said George P. Fraise, SGA Portfolio Manager and Co-Founder. "American Beacon is the ideal partner for us because they understand our selective business model and make it easy for us to continue to focus on pursuing high returns and lower levels of risk for investors." Founded in 2003, SGA is employee-owned and manages $5.3 billion in assets.
