Equity securities in which the Fund is expected to invest primarily consist of common stock, but can also include preferred stock, depositary receipts and convertible securities. Currently, India offers significant potential due to its rapidly growing economy, fueled by a young and educated workforce, along with a vast consumer market driven by a rising middle class. Additionally, Indias ongoing reforms and government initiatives aimed at improving the ease of doing business, coupled with its robust infrastructure plans, further enhance its appeal for investment. In determining whether an issuer is, or is likely to be, in a current or future leading position in terms of market share and/or market capitalization within its respective country, region, industry, products produced or services offered, the Adviser considers, among other things: (i) issuers with a sustainable long-term business model or strategy that the Adviser considers to be a competitive advantage; (ii) issuers with businesses that the Adviser expects to benefit from long-term economic trends such as favorable demographics and/or a growing middle class; and (iii) issuers with management practices and philosophies that the Adviser considers beneficial to shareholder value. For example, a company with the largest market share within a respective industry or subsector that also is supported by long-term economic trends such as increased consumption would likely meet the criteria for potential investment. These are companies that the Adviser believes are poised to benefit from the socio-economic changes occurring in India and may have the potential to achieve high levels of growth over the medium- to long-term. The Adviser utilizes an active and bottom-up approach to portfolio construction. The initial investment universe is derived primarily from quantitative analysis, using metrics including, but not limited to, trading volume, market capitalization, returns, and balance sheet ratios. Active trading volume and higher market capitalization may reflect greater liquidity and a higher capacity for investment. High returns and strong balance sheet ratios can reflect a company's stability, growth potential, and ability to withstand market fluctuations. The Adviser also utilizes research from its affiliate Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) Private Limited as an additional input in the portfolio construction process. After the initial investment universe has been screened, fundamental and qualitative analysis are applied for purposes of sector allocations and stock selection, all within a risk management framework. This risk management framework includes, but is not limited to, guidelines for individual position size limits, sector weight limits relative to a broad-based benchmark such as the MSCI India Index, and a target number of holdings. As a result, the Funds portfolio reflects what the Adviser believes are the most compelling investment opportunities within the eligible universe and subject to the parameters of the risk management framework. The Adviser considers an Indian company to be any company that is: (i) included in the MSCI India Index; or (ii) economically tied to India. The Adviser determines that an investment is economically tied to India if such investment satisfies one or more of the following conditions: (i) the issuers primary trading market is in India; (ii) the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenue from, or has at least 50% of its assets in, India; and/or (iii) the investment is included in an index representative of India. For market capitalization determination, the Adviser considers the rankings published by generally recognized classification systems, such as the MSCI Global Industry Classification System (MSCI GICS). The Adviser may invest in issuers across all industry sectors, as defined by MSCI GICS. For market share determination, the Adviser generally uses its proprietary analysis of an issuers competitive positioning within its respective industry on a province, state, country or regional basis. The Adviser also may consider product segments or types of services provided by an issuer that are outside of the issuers generally recognized industry classification. The Advisers proprietary analysis may include consideration of third-party data on market share. The Adviser buys and sells securities based on its investment thesis for each issuer, judgment about the prices of the securities and valuations, portfolio cash management, market structural opportunities and concerns, and other macro-economic factors. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest substantially all of its net assets in non-U.S. companies. The Fund generally expects to invest in a broad range of sectors, but the Fund may periodically focus its investments (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular sector(s). The Fund is classified as non-diversified, which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Show less
