What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term growth of capital and income.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities of issuers from at least three different countries outside the U.S., typically medium-to-large capitalization companies that appear temporarily undervalued with favorable long-term growth prospects. The adviser evaluates companies based on financial fundamentals including earnings, cash flow, and dividends, alongside financial strength, competitive position, management quality, and material ESG factors, while also assessing the political and economic stability of each issuer's home country. Emerging market investments are normally limited to 30% of net assets. The fund may use currency forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
