A non-U.S. issuer is an issuer economically tied to a country other than the United States. The Fund intends to have investments economically tied to at least three countries, not including the United States, and may invest in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries. The Funds equity investments may include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, warrants, rights and American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts (collectively Depositary Receipts). The Funds equity investments may also include participation notes and other derivatives, which are used primarily to gain broad access to markets and/or individual securities that may be difficult to access via direct investment in equity securities. The Fund seeks to invest in securities that GQG Partners LLC (the Sub-Adviser or GQG Partners) believes have favorable long-term economic prospects. The Sub-Adviser selects securities issued by companies that, in its view, can sustain relative earnings growth over the long-term and are available at a reasonable price. Over a full market cycle, the Sub-Advisers investment style seeks to capture a portion of market increases while providing some protection when the market declines. The Sub-Advisers style seeks to identify companies with strong fundamental business characteristics which it believes will outperform peers over a full market cycle and whose securities will better sustain their value in a market downturn. The Funds equity investments may also include other investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and publicly traded partnerships (PTPs)). The Fund is not subject to any limits on the market capitalization of securities in which it may invest and, from time to time, may invest in shares of companies through initial public offerings (IPOs). The Fund may invest without limitation in securities or obtain exposure to securities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Fund may use currency management techniques, such as forward foreign currency contracts, for investment or hedging purposes. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations and may engage in other techniques consistent with its overall investment objective. Management Process The Investment Adviser and the Fund have received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under the exemptive order, the Investment Adviser has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Funds Board of Trustees, to oversee the Sub-Adviser and recommend its hiring, termination and replacement. The initial shareholder of the Fund approved the Funds operation in this manner and reliance by the Fund on this exemptive order. In accordance with a separate exemptive order that the Fund and the Investment Adviser have obtained from the SEC, the Board of Trustees may enter into a new sub-advisory agreement or materially amend its existing sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Adviser at a meeting that is not in person, subject to certain conditions, including that the Board of Trustees is able to participate in the meeting using a means of communication that allows them to hear each other simultaneously during the meeting. Additional Information The Investment Adviser measures the Funds performance against the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net, USD, Unhedged). Show less
