As of Dec. 23, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. Long-term capital growth.

Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests predominantly in the equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including developing markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in issuers located in at least three different countries (including the U.S.). The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stock, and may include small and mid capitalization companies. Although the investment manager will search for investments across a large number of regions, countries and sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in particular regions, countries or sectors.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in issuers located in at least three different countries (including the U.S.). The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stock, and may include small and mid capitalization companies. Although the investment manager will search for investments across a large number of regions, countries and sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in particular regions, countries or sectors. The Fund pursues a focused global equity strategy with an emphasis on quality companies that the investment manager believes have dominant market positions, competitive advantages, high quality management, solid balance sheets, and positive returns to capital in growing industries, and that are trading at appropriate valuations. When choosing equity investments for the Fund, the investment manager applies a bottom-up, research-oriented, long-term approach to find companies that are trading at valuation discounts with considerable future earnings power. The investment manager may consider selling an equity security when it believes the security has become overvalued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the company's fundamentals, or when the investment manager believes another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.
