Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
Long-term capital growth.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies outside the U.S., applying a bottom-up value approach that screens for attractive price relative to long-term earnings, asset value, cash flow potential, and metrics such as price/earnings and price/cash flow ratios. The fund may hold significant positions in particular countries, regions or sectors based on economic conditions. Because the fund's returns depend on the investment manager's security selection decisions, performance will diverge from any benchmark.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +27.22% | +44.14% | +47.33% | 13.85% | -11.29% | |
| +26.07% | +40.71% | +41.76% | 13.78% | -11.44% | |
| +27.41% | +45.11% | +49.01% | 13.72% | -11.25% | |
| +26.86% | +42.93% | +45.51% | 13.67% | -11.21% | |
| +27.62% | +45.57% | +49.90% | 13.75% | -11.14% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 8.14pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.63pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
