The Sub-Advisor’s investment process seeks companies that are industry leaders with strengthening competitive advantages; corporate cultures emphasizing strong, quality and experienced management; low or no debt; and attractive relative valuations. The Sub-Advisor also considers /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"other factors including political risk, monetary policy risk and regulatory risk in selecting securities. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"Although the Fund may invest in the securities of companies of any size, it generally invests in the securities of established multinational companies.

However, from time to time, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"securities of companies in one or a few countries or regions. /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had significant investments in industrials companies, information technology companies and European issuers, although this may change from time to time./spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Over time, the Fund may have significant investments in a /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"jurisdiction or investment sector that it may not have had as of /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"March/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;line-height:10.80pt;" /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"31, 2026. To the extent the Fund invests a significant /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"portion of its assets in a given jurisdiction or investment sector, the Fund may be exposed to the risks associated with that /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"jurisdiction or investment sector.
