Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Core Equity 2 Portfolio (the Portfolio) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy · summarised

The fund purchases a broad portfolio of emerging-market equity securities with meaningfully increased exposure to smaller-capitalization companies, those trading at low prices relative to book value, and those with high profitability. The Advisor adjusts these core positions based on shorter-term factors including price momentum and investment characteristics, and uses flexible trading to manage costs. Because the fund's selection criteria and the factors used to assess relative price and profitability are subject to change, the fund's holdings and performance may diverge from its long-term design.
