Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and
may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. During the Funds most recent fiscal year,
the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Funds main investment strategies?
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities from developed countries included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia and
Far East (EAFE) Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), which is the Funds benchmark. The Fund typically does not invest in U.S. companies.
Equity securities in which the Fund invests are common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts, rights and warrants to buy common stocks and privately placed securities.
The Funds sector weightings generally approximate those of the MSCI EAFE Value Index, although the Fund does not seek to mirror the index
in its choice of individual securities. In choosing securities, the Fund emphasizes those that are ranked as undervalued according to the proprietary research of the adviser while underweighting or avoiding those that appear overvalued.
The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, major reserve currencies and currencies of other countries in which it can invest.
The Fund may invest in securities across all market capitalizations, although the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of any one
particular market capitalization category.
The Fund may utilize currency forwards to reduce currency deviations, where practical, for the purpose
of risk management. The Fund may also use exchange-traded futures for the efficient management of cash flows.
Investment Process: In managing the
Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines fundamental research for identifying portfolio securities and currency management decisions.
Various models are used to quantify the advisers fundamental stock research, producing a ranking of companies in each industry group according to their
relative value. The Funds management team then buys and sells securities, using the research and valuation rankings as well as its assessment of other factors, including:
|
|
value characteristics such as low
price-to-book
and
price-to-earnings
ratios;
|
|
|
catalysts that could trigger a change in a securitys price;
|
|
|
potential reward compared to potential risk; and
|
|
|
temporary mispricings caused by market overreactions.
|
The Fund has access to the advisers currency specialists in determining the extent and nature of the Funds exposure to various foreign currencies.
The Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one region or country.
The Funds Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the advisers expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.
An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability
of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial
goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
Equity Market
Risk.
The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a companys financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting
individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Funds portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Funds securities goes down, your investment in
the Fund decreases in value.
General Market Risk
. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly
interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Market Risk.
Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic
risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and
disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded delivery versus payment, the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered and
may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely
.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries
or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
Value Investing Risk.
A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the companys value or the factors that
the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
2
Geographic Focus Risk.
The Fund may focus its investments in a region or small group of countries. As a
result, the Funds performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Depositary Receipt Risk.
The Funds investments may take the form of depositary receipts, including unsponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information about the underlying issuer and may not carry the same voting
privileges as sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts are issued by one or more depositaries in response to market demand, but without a formal agreement with the company that issues the underlying securities.
Smaller Cap Company Risk
. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier and more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and
industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
Derivatives Risk.
Derivatives, including forward currency contracts and futures, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be
more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more
volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative
counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced
counterparty risk.
Currency Risk.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Funds securities and the
price of the Funds shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a
countrys government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
To the extent that the Fund hedges its currency exposure, it may reduce the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign
currency to another. However, the Fund does not typically use this hedging strategy for its emerging markets currency exposure.
Redemption Risk.
The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests
by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.
Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are
not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Funds Past Performance
This section
provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Funds Institutional Class Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual
total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares that performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the
Lipper International
Large-Cap
Value Funds Average, an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Funds designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the
Lipper average includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the average. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
