The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in issuers located in at least three different countries, including the United States. The Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 40% of its net assets in issuers outside the United States.

 

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including securities of issuers in developing and emerging markets countries (i.e., those that are in the initial stages of their industrial cycle) that are, in the portfolio manager’s view, attractively valued relative to current or projected earnings, or to the current market value of assets owned by the issuer.

 

The portfolio manager looks for companies with attractive valuations that deliver sustainable returns through the economic cycle, as well as companies with strong financial characteristics, strong franchises and management that is focused on disciplined capital allocation.

 

The portfolio manager typically considers whether to sell a security in any of four circumstances: 1) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified, 2) the full value of the investment is deemed to have been realized, 3) there has been a fundamental negative change in the management strategy of the issuer, or 4) there has been a fundamental negative change in the competitive environment.

 

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

 

Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk . The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging markets countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.

 

Foreign Securities Risk . The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.

 

Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

 

Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

 

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks . Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
