Equity-linked instruments are instruments issued by financial institutions or special purpose entities located in foreign countries to provide the synthetic economic performance of a referenced equity security; these securities are valued at market value for purposes of the funds requirement to invest 80% of its assets in emerging markets countries. Equity-linked instruments in which the Fund invests include common equity securities (including initial public offerings and secondary offerings), preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and exchange-traded funds. SGA generally considers emerging markets countries to be those included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. As of the date of this prospectus, SGA considers issuers to be located in emerging markets if an issuer: (i) is organized in emerging markets, (ii) is headquartered in emerging markets, or (iii) has significant exposure to emerging markets. SGA considers an issuer as having significant exposure to emerging markets if it derives at least 50% of its revenue from emerging markets countries. SGA uses an investment process to identify companies that it believes have a high degree of predictability, strong profitability and above average earnings and cash flow growth. SGA selects investments for the funds portfolio that it believes have superior long-term earnings prospects and attractive valuation. SGA seeks to identify and invest in companies that they believe offer long-term predictable growth in revenues, earnings, and cash flows, and companies that demonstrate the following characteristics: pricing power, recurring revenues, growth opportunity, financial strength, and management strength. SGA seeks to invest in companies that they believe provide the best 35-year investment opportunities based on a combination of the conviction they have in the underlying business fundamentals and their current valuation opportunities. To the extent consistent with the funds investment objective and strategies, the subadviser will consider as an element of its investment research and decision-making processes for the fund any environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) factors that the subadviser believes may influence risks and opportunities of companies under consideration. However, the pursuit of ESG-related goals is not the funds investment objective, nor one of its investment strategies. Therefore, ESG factors by themselves are not expected to determine investment decisions for the fund. The funds equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, and depositary receipts. The fund may invest in companies of all market capitalizations. The fund will allocate its assets among various regions and countries (but no fewer than three countries). From time to time, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the securities of companies in only a few countries and one or a few regions. Although the fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, the fund may have significant positions in particular sectors. SGA will sell a portfolio holding when it believes the securitys fundamentals deteriorate, its valuation is no longer attractive, or a better investment opportunity arises. Show less
