Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities of foreign issuers.
The fund selects individual stocks of foreign issuers in developed and emerging markets, focusing on companies demonstrating positive structural change, differentiated products or services with strong competitive moats, and accelerating growth with margin expansion, typically when the adviser believes valuations do not reflect long-term potential. The adviser allows country and regional allocations to emerge from stock selection rather than targeting a predetermined geographic mix, and regularly reviews sector and country exposure against the MSCI ACWI ex USA Growth Index to manage risk. Because returns depend on the adviser's security selection, performance may diverge materially from the benchmark.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.22pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.04pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
