Fund Description

Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small-cap companies in the particular markets in which the fund invests. Based on market capitalization data as of October 31, 2024, the maximum market capitalization range of companies eligible for purchase by the fund was approximately $1.2 billion to $9.4 billion, depending on the country. The fund will primarily invest in a broad and diverse group of equity securities of foreign small companies in developed markets, but may also hold equity securities of companies located in emerging markets. The fund invests its assets in securities listed on bona fide securities exchanges or traded on the over-the-counter markets. These exchanges or over-the-counter markets may be either within or outside the issuer’s domicile country. The manager measures company size on a country- or region-specific basis and based primarily on market capitalization. In the countries or regions authorized for investment, the manager first ranks eligible companies based on market capitalizations and then determines the universe of eligible stocks by defining the maximum market capitalization of a small company that may be purchased by the fund with respect to each country or region. This threshold will vary based on market conditions. The fund intends to use a market-capitalization-weighted approach in seeking to set country weights based on the relative market capitalizations of eligible small companies within each country (see below). Weightings of certain countries may vary from their weightings in published international indices. The fund may also use derivatives such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the fund. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts may be for foreign or U.S. equity securities and indices. The fund may also enter into forward currency contracts to facilitate settlement of equity purchases of foreign securities, repatriation of foreign currency balances, or currency exchange. In addition to cash, money market instruments, and other short-term investments, the fund may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds to manage cash pending investment, to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions, to make other anticipated cash payments, or for other purposes. Investments in money market funds may involve a duplication of certain fees and expenses. The fund does not seek current income as an investment objective and investments will not be based on an issuer’s dividend payment policy or record, although many of the companies in which the fund invests do pay dividends. The manager will determine in its discretion when and whether to invest in countries that have been authorized by its Investment Committee, depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, asset growth in the fund, constraints imposed within markets authorized for investment, and other characteristics of each country’s markets. Other countries may be authorized for investment in the future. Although the manager does not intend to purchase securities not associated with markets authorized for investment, the fund may acquire such securities in connection with corporate actions or other reorganizations or transactions with respect to securities that are held by the fund from time to time. Also, the fund may continue to hold investments in countries that are not currently designated as markets authorized for investment, but had been authorized for investment in the past, and may reinvest distributions received in connection with such existing investments in such previously authorized markets.Market-capitalization-weighted approachThe fund uses market capitalization weighting to determine individual security weights and, where applicable, country or region weights. Market-capitalization weighting means each security is generally purchased based on the issuer’s relative market capitalization. Market-capitalization weighting may be modified by the manager for a variety of reasons. The manager may adjust the representation in the fund of an eligible company, or exclude a company, after considering such factors as free float, price momentum, short-run reversals, trading strategies, liquidity, size, relative price, profitability, investment characteristics, and other factors that the manager determines to be appropriate. The manager may deviate from market-capitalization weighting to limit or fix the exposure of the fund to a particular country or issuer to a maximum proportion of fund assets. The manager may exclude the stock of a company that meets applicable market capitalization criteria if the manager determines, in its judgment, that the purchase of such stock is inappropriate in light of other conditions. These adjustments will result in a deviation from traditional market-capitalization weighting. Country weights may be based on the total market capitalization of companies within each country and may take into consideration the free float of companies within a country or whether these companies are eligible to be purchased for the particular strategy. In addition, to maintain a satisfactory level of diversification, the Investment Committee may limit or fix the exposure to a particular country or region to a maximum proportion of the assets of that vehicle. Country weights may also vary due to general day-to-day trading patterns and price movements.
