Equity securities are a type of investment security that represent ownership in a company, and common stock is a type of equity security. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies that, in the opinion of the investment sub-adviser, will benefit from the economic development and growth of the Peoples Republic of China. The China region includes Hong Kong and China, and may include securities trading in the form of depositary receipts. A company will be considered to be located in the China region if it is domiciled in the China region or has at least 50% of its assets in, or derives 50% or more of its revenues or profits from, the China region. The Fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities in any one country in the China region. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets outside the China region. The Fund invests in companies with a broad range of market capitalizations, including smaller, less seasoned companies. More than 25% of the Funds total assets may be denominated in a single currency. The Fund may invest in private placements. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. The Fund may engage in derivative transactions such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts to attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of foreign currency fluctuations during the period between the purchase of a security and its settlement. The Fund may also seek to gain exposure to common stocks through the use of equity-linked securities (such as participation notes (P-Notes)). The Fund expects to use P-Notes to invest indirectly in certain stocks that trade in a market that restricts foreign investors, such as the Fund, from investing directly in the market. The Funds investments in equity-linked securities will not exceed 10% of the Funds net assets. The investment sub-adviser invests primarily in common stocks of China region companies expected to grow in value over time, regardless of short-term market fluctuations. In selecting securities for the Fund, the investment sub-adviser seeks to invest in quality companies benefiting from secular growth trends that it believes are undervalued. Quality is determined by analysis of a companys financial statements and is measured by a companys demonstrated ability to consistently compound free cash flow at a steady rate. Quality companies typically have sustainable business models, robust balance sheets and proven management teams who are aligned with majority shareholders, among other characteristics. Stocks generally will be sold when they have achieved their perceived long-term value or to pursue more attractive investment options. When deemed by the investment sub-adviser to be relevant to its evaluation of a companys financial performance and when applicable information is available, the investment sub-adviser considers financially material environmental, social and/or governance issues (referred to as ?ESG) which may impact the prospects of an issuer or long-term stock price performance of a company. When considered, one or more ESG issues are taken into account alongside other factors in the investment decision-making process and are not the sole determinant of whether an investment can be made or will remain in the Funds portfolio. In circumstances deemed appropriate by the investment sub-adviser, the investment sub-adviser engages with company management on environmental, social, and/or governance-related considerations that the investment sub-adviser believes to be material to the company to seek to gain insights into how the company addresses material ESG issues and how these may affect long-term financial performance.
