Fund Description
To pursue its goal, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of issuers in emerging market countries. These include securities of companies (1) that are traded principally on a stock exchange or over-the-counter in emerging market countries, (2) that are organized under the laws of and/or have a principal office in emerging market countries, or (3) that derive 50% or more of their total revenues from, and/or have 50% or more of their total assets in, goods produced, sales made, profits generated or services performed in emerging market countries. The Fund considers emerging market countries to be countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
The Portfolio Manager uses a bottom-up, research-driven securities selection approach focusing on businesses with a recent history of high returns while factoring in economic, legislative and business developments to identify countries and sectors that he believes may be particularly attractive. As part of his fundamental investment analysis the Portfolio Manager considers Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors he believes are financially material to individual investments, where applicable, as described below. While this analysis is inherently subjective and may be informed by both internally generated and third-party metrics, data
and other information, the Portfolio Manager believes that the consideration of financially material ESG factors, alongside traditional financial metrics, may enhance the Fund’s overall investment process. The consideration of ESG factors does not apply to certain instruments, such as certain derivative instruments, other registered investment companies, cash and cash equivalents. The consideration of ESG factors as part of the investment process does not mean that the Fund pursues a specific “impact” or “sustainable” investment strategy.
The Portfolio Manager believes that in-depth, strategic and financial research is the key to identifying undervalued companies and seeks to identify companies with the following characteristics: stock prices undervalued relative to his view of long-term cash flow growth potential; industry leadership; potential for significant improvement in the company’s business; and/or strong financial characteristics, corporate governance practices, and management track record.
The Fund seeks to reduce risk by diversifying among many industries. At times, the Portfolio Manager may emphasize certain sectors that he believes will benefit from market or economic trends. Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest a significant portion of its assets in one country or region, it generally intends to invest across a broad range of countries and geographical regions.
The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants to purchase common stock, depositary receipts and China A-shares using the “connect programs” of local stock exchanges in China, such as the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program or other similar programs. The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may also invest in foreign real estate companies.
The Fund may invest in restricted securities, including private placements, which are securities that are subject to legal restrictions on their sale and may not be sold to the public unless registered under the applicable securities law or pursuant to an applicable exemption. The Fund may also invest in private companies, including companies that have not yet issued securities publicly in an initial public offering.
The Portfolio Manager follows a disciplined selling strategy and may sell a security when it reaches a target price, if a company’s business fails to perform as expected, or when other opportunities appear more attractive.
The Fund will not change its strategy of normally investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of issuers in emerging market countries, without providing shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. This test is applied at the time the Fund invests; later percentage changes caused by a change in Fund assets, market values or company circumstances will not require the Fund to dispose of a holding.
