Investment objective & strategy

As of April 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in equity securities. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants of companies. The Fund invests principally in common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization foreign companies with market capitalizations in the range of companies included in the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East ("EAFE") Index ("EAFE Index") at the time of purchase. Schroder Investment Management North America Inc., the Fund's subadviser ("SIMNA"), and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited, the Fund's sub-subadviser ("SIMNA Ltd.") (collectively, the "Subadvisers") select investments for the Fund that they believe are … Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in equity securities.

The Fund invests principally in common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization foreign companies with market capitalizations in the range of companies included in the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East ("EAFE") Index ("EAFE Index") at the time of purchase. Schroder Investment Management North America Inc., the Fund's subadviser ("SIMNA"), and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited, the Fund's sub-subadviser ("SIMNA Ltd.") (collectively, the "Subadvisers") select investments for the Fund that they believe are undervalued or have the potential for growth based on their earnings, cash flow, or asset values. Although expected to change frequently, the market capitalization range of the EAFE Index was approximately $4 billion to $308 billion as of March 31, 2025. The Subadvisers will generally seek to diversify the Fund's portfolio by investing in issuers located in at least three foreign countries. However, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in just one foreign country. An issuer of a security will be deemed to be located in a particular country if: (i) the principal trading market for the security is in such country; (ii) the issuer is organized under the laws of such country; or (iii) the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from such country or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in such country. In choosing securities for the Fund, the Subadvisers look for established companies in economically developed countries and may invest up to 15% of the Fund's assets in securities of companies whose principal business activities are located in emerging market countries. The Subadvisers generally consider the countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to be emerging market countries, but may consider other factors in determining whether an issuer is situated in an emerging market country. The Subadvisers typically may sell investments when they believe that they no longer offer attractive future returns compared with other investment opportunities or that they present undesirable risks or in an attempt to limit losses on investments that may decline or have declined in value. In addition, the Subadvisers incorporate environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors into their investment process. The Subadvisers evaluate the impact and risk around issues such as climate change, environmental performance, labor standards and corporate governance, which they view as important in their assessment of a company's risk and potential for profitability.
