Investment objective & strategy
As of July 28, 2022 · prospectusObjective. This Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through investment in equity securities of corporations domiciled in countries with developed economies and markets other than the U.S. Current income from dividends and interest will not be an important consideration.
Strategy. This Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of large foreign companies that the sub-adviser believes to be undervalued. The sub-adviser uses a contrarian value approach to selecting securities, applying fundamental analysis to identify securities that it believes are undervalued by the market. The Fund may also invest in mid-capitalization companies. The market capitalizations of the portfolio holdings are generally those in the range of companies represented in the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index. As of March 31, 2022, the market capitalization range of the MSCI EAFE Index was approximately $2.8 billion to $363.6 billion. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average market capitalization of the Fund was approximately $38.4 billion.

The Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Fund holdings may be U.S. dollar or foreign currency denominated. The Fund may invest a high percentage of its assets in securities of issuers in a single country, such as Japan, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. However, under normal market conditions, the Fund generally expects to invest in a number of different foreign countries. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in issuers that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. The sub-adviser normally invests the Funds assets across different groups of industries/sectors, but may invest a significant percentage of the Funds assets in issuers in a single sector. As of March 31, 2022, a significant portion of the Fund is represented by securities of companies in the Financial sector. The components of the Fund are likely to change over time. The sub-adviser may sell a holding when it appreciates to a stated target, when there has been a change in the long-term investment outlook, or when other opportunities appear more attractive.
