Market Environment The citizens of the United Kingdom voted in late June to with-draw the country from the European Union, which caused the S&P 500 index to quickly decline 4.07%. Soon afterward, a perception that markets had been oversold and expectations that central banks would provide stimulus supported investor sentiment and the index rallied 4.95% during the final days of the month. It was a difficult quarter for active growth managers. Broadly speaking, investors favored defensive sectors such as Telecommunication Services, Utilities, and Consumer Staples. For the second quarter, the S&P 500 generated a 2.46% return.

Strategy ReviewClass A US, I US, I-2US, I-3US, and I-4US shares of the Alger SICAV American Asset Growth Fund generated -0.49%, -0.24%, -0.17%, -0.26%, and -0.30% returns, respectively, for the se-cond quarter of 2016. Investors in euro share classes would have experienced different performance as a result of fluctuations in currency. For the quarter, the Fund’s Russell 1000 Growth Index benchmark generated a 0.61% return.

During the second quarter of 2016, the largest portfolio sector weightings were Information Technology and Consumer Discre-tionary. The largest sector overweight was Information Techno-logy and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Staples. Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors contributed to relative performance while Information Technology, Financials, and Industrials were among sectors that detracted from results.

Amazon.com, Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company were among top contributors to performance. Amazon is one of the largest retailers in the world. It also provides cloud-based computing services. The company’s management announced strong year-over-year results for the first quarter and provided encouraging guidance for the second quarter, a result of the company’s attractive product pricing and the convenience of online shopping. Its cloud-computing services have also generated strong results. Bristol-Myers discovers, develops, and delivers innovative medicines for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases, hepatitis, HIV, and rheumatoid arthritis. During the quarter, investors reacted favorably to the company’s encoura-ging fundamentals, with earnings being supported by strong re-venues for OPDIVO, which treats lung cancer, and Eliquis, which is an anti-blood-clotting treatment. Shares of LinkedIn Corpo-ration also supported performance. The company operates the world's largest professional and employment-oriented social network. The shares performed strongly on news that Microsoft will acquire the company at a substantial premium. Shares of Newell Brands also contributed to performance. Newell Brands is a leading global consumer-goods company with well-known brands, including Paper Mate, Sharpie, and Rubbermaid. We believe shares of Newell Brands performed strongly in response to investors developing a favorable view of the company’s acqui-sition of Jarden Corp.

Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc., however, were among top detrac-tors from performance. Recently, the pricing of technology and consumer-electronics provider Apple has been reflecting what we believe is investors’ incorrect view that the company is a commodity hardware producer. We believe, however, that Apple should be priced as an innovative company that provides software that is very sticky among its customers. The shares

detracted from performance as investors have been disappoin-ted with the recent rate of innovation and uninspiring growth of the company’s smartphones. We believe Apple's dividend and share repurchase program, however, can potentially mitigate risk while investors wait for the company’s research and product development efforts to bear fruit. Alphabet, which is the parent company of Google and other popular technology brands, has been benefiting from increased internet use and a migration of advertising from traditional media to online. In the second quarter, however, Alphabet reported modestly disappointing unit volume growth while European regulators continued to scru-tinize Google’s competitive practices. We continue to believe, however, that Alphabet has potential to benefit from increasing use of the internet and from the growth of online advertising. Shares of software company Microsoft Corporation also detrac-ted from results. The company is being reoriented toward cloud computing services and a more profitable product mix. After several quarters of strong share performance, Microsoft stock weakened as quarterly results modestly disappointed and inves-tors initially reacted negatively to the news that the company will acquire LinkedIn. We continue to believe that the company’s migration to cloud services is a multi-year process that will yield attractive results and that LinkedIn can potentially support revenue growth. Also detracting from performance were shares of global pharmaceuticals company Allergan plc. The company offers products for eye care, neurosciences, dermatology, and aesthetics. The shares underperformed in large part due to regulators blocking a proposed merger of Allergan and Pfizer Inc. We believe Allergan’s fundamentals are strong with the company generating healthy organic revenue growth, expanding margins, and strong free cash flow.

Going ForwardWe continue to have an optimistic outlook for equity investing and we believe this is an attractive time for active managers that focus on growth stocks in particular. As a result of investors favoring defensive stocks for most of 2016, growth stocks are trading at historically low valuations relative to value stocks. In addition, we maintain that corporate fundamentals are strong at a time when stock buybacks, dividend payments, and mergers and acquisitions are returning substantial amounts of capital to investors.
