The Fund invests principally in common stock and sponsored and unsponsored ADRs and GDRs, of companies of any market capitalization. Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLCs, the Funds sub-adviser (the Sub-Adviser or Barrow Hanley), seeks to invest in companies that are temporarily undervalued for reasons Barrow Hanley can identify, understand, and believe will improve over time. In addition to valuation, Barrow Hanley typically also looks for companies with what Barrow Hanley believes are stronger than average balance sheets, attractive but sustainable dividend yields, temporarily depressed profitability, and stable-to-improving operating fundamentals. Barrow Hanley expects that the price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios of the Funds aggregate portfolio typically will be lower than the broad market while simultaneously delivering an opportunity for what Barrow Hanley believes is attractive dividend yield. Barrow Hanley pursues a value-oriented strategy and strives to construct a portfolio of value companies, which the portfolio managers select on a bottom-up basis. The portfolio managers utilize a variety of valuation metrics to assess a company, including, but not limited to, price to earnings ratio, price to book ratio, free cash flow yield, price to sales, and/or dividend yield. The Fund defines a value company as an issuer with one or more valuation metrics favorable to the MSCI EAFE Index aggregate for the same metric. Barrow Hanleys International Value team employs a two-stage processincorporating both quantitative and qualitative elementsto manage their investment research effort. Initially, the team uses a valuation based, quantitative screen to narrow down a broad universe of approximately 3,800 ex-US stocks to a universe of approximately 150-200 stocks (the guidance list) that appear to Barrow Hanley to have attractive valuations and also exhibit stable to improving operating fundamentals, strong operating cash flow, and a responsible balance sheet. This guidance list serves as the beginning of Barrow Hanleys research teams qualitative assessment. The research team further refines the guidance list using sector specific criteria (including, capital ratios for financials, price-to-net asset value metrics for energy, and other metrics), ultimately focusing on ideas that Barrow Hanley believes are compelling opportunities.
