The Funds investments in non-U.S. companies and other issuers may include, without limitation, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), emerging market securities and securities denominated in foreign currencies, including the local currencies of emerging markets. To determine whether a stock is undervalued, Homestead Advisers considers, among other factors, potential earning power, financial ratios and any competitive advantages a company may have. Stock selection is made with the belief that businesses have an underlying value that is not always reflected by share price, especially over the short term. Homestead Advisers seeks to select stocks that it believes may benefit over time from a more reasonable market assessment of fundamental value.
