Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, we invest:
at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in emerging market equity securities.
We invest principally in equity or other listed securities of emerging market companies. We consider emerging market companies to include companies that are traded in, have their primary operations in, are domiciled in or derive a majority of their revenue from emerging market countries as defined by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We may use futures to manage risk or to enhance return. The Fund may have exposure to stocks across any capitalizations and styles and will be diversified across countries and sectors.
Utilizing a bottom-up, research driven stock selection process, we seek to invest in quality companies at prices below their intrinsic value. From the available stock universe we focus only on those quality companies that are able to sustain high profitability over a long period of time for reasons we can understand. We believe that quality companies create value for investors from profitable investment of retained earnings and dividend payout and preserve value in adversity. We further believe that quality companies that embrace sustainable environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies are more likely to avoid permanent loss of capital than companies that do not. Among the characteristics we seek in high-quality companies are strong competitive position, demonstrable financial strength and profitability, favorable ESG attributes, quality management dedicated to public shareholders’ interest, and favorable growth prospect supported by major long-term trends. ESG information and research are integral to the investment process for the specific purpose of increasing our knowledge of companies, identifying and evaluating risks and opportunities, and engaging with companies to influence corporate behaviors, all of which can impact the team’s assessment of a company’s quality and long term intrinsic value. ESG factors represent broad categories, and the team’s ESG research is pragmatic and driven by bottom-up, company-specific issues that are important to individual companies in our pool of quality investments. In general, ESG research and engagement are broad and cover environmental, social, and governance issues as appropriate for each company, such as the environmental impact of a proposed project, employee protections in a supply chain, or composition of the board of directors. We also focus on understanding each company’s intrinsic value and will only invest when a company’s stock trades at a meaningful discount to this value. We do not attempt to anticipate or react to short term market fluctuations, but instead seek to take advantage of periodic market inefficiencies to buy the high quality companies at prices below our assessment of their intrinsic value. We have a disciplined approach to the monitoring and sale of holdings and our decisions to trim or sell out of positions may be triggered when a stock price exceeds its intrinsic value or when there is a material deterioration in the fundamentals of the company.
