Fund Description
The fund will pursue its objective through a value oriented, research-driven strategy of investing in equity securities and financial instruments with equity like characteristics designed to provide exposure to emerging markets. Securities are selected by the adviser using its “three circles” approach which combines a quantitative screening with a fundamental bottom-up selection process. This investment strategy is grounded in the following principles: (1) low valuation stocks outperform high valuation stocks; (2) companies with strong fundamentals outperform companies with weak fundamentals; and (3) stocks with positive business momentum outperform stocks with negative business momentum. The adviser examines various factors in determining the value characteristics of issuers, including price-to-book value ratios and price-to-earnings ratios. These value characteristics are examined in the context of the issuer’s operating and financial fundamentals, such as return-on-equity and earnings growth and cash flow. The fund intends, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of emerging market issuers,related derivative instruments and other equity investments that are tied economically to emerging market countries.The adviser considers an emerging marketcountry to include any country that is: 1) generally recognized to bean emerging market country by the international financial community, including the World Bank; 2) classified by the United Nations as a developing country; or 3) included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Due to the unique relationship between China and its separately administered regions, the Adviser includesHong Kong andMacau as emerging markets. In managing the fund’s portfolio, the adviser will seek to identify mispriced publicly traded equity securities of emerging market companies and purchase securities that the adviser believes will outperform, emphasizing low valuation, positive business momentum and high quality. The fund generally invests in the equity securities of issuers the manager believes are undervalued. The manager applies a bottom-up stock selection process using a combination of fundamental and quantitative analysis. The equity securities in which the fund will invest, which may include equity securities of non-U.S. issuers that are traded in the markets of the United States, include equity securities issued by large-, mid- and small- or micro-cap companies, as well as exchange-traded and over-the-counter common and preferred stocks, warrants, options, rights, convertible securities, sponsored and unsponsored depositary receipts and shares, trust certificates, limited partnership interests, shares of other investment companies (including exchanged-traded funds (ETFs)), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and equity participations. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in high yield debt obligations(commonly known as junk bonds), such as bonds and debentures, used by corporations and other business organizations (e.g.,trusts or limited liability companies).Such high yield debt obligations are not considered to be investment grade.Junk bonds are rated BB or lower by S&P Global, or have a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, if unrated are determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of investment). The fund may invest in securities of the lowest rating category, including securities in default. The fund will primarily invest in fixed income instruments,including high yield debt obligations, when the fund believes that such instruments offer a better risk/reward profile than comparable equity opportunities. In general, the fund’s investments will be spread over a number of industries and, as a matter of policy, the Fund is limited to investing less than 25% of its total assets in any one industry, except that the fund may invest in exchange traded funds to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and applicable SEC orders. The fund may participate as a purchaser in initial public offeringsof securities(IPOs). An IPO isa company’s first offering of stock to the public. The fund may investup to 15%of its net assets in illiquid investments, includinginvestments thatare illiquidby virtueof the absence of a readily available market or legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The fund may also seek to increase its income by lending portfolio securities.The fund willinvest in derivatives, including put andcall options, futures, contracts for differences, forward contractsand swaps,in lieu of investing directly in a security, currency or instrument,for hedging andnon-hedging purposes.The fund’s investments in derivative instrumentsmay be leveraged and result in losses exceeding the amounts invested.
