Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The Portfolios investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 65% of assets in equity securities of large-cap and mid-cap companies in countries outside the U.S. that comprise the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, using fundamental and quantitative research to select holdings and allocate across geographies and sectors. The manager is not required to track the index proportionally and may invest in countries outside it, so fund performance may diverge from the benchmark. The fund may employ currency hedging strategies and use derivatives including futures and options to manage exposure.
