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.

The 5 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.10% | +24.75% | +55.10% | +46.45% | -11.29% | |
| 1.85% | +23.79% | +51.79% | +41.05% | -11.44% | |
| 0.85% | +25.05% | +56.36% | +48.31% | -11.25% | |
| 1.35% | +24.37% | +53.93% | +44.50% | -11.21% | |
| 0.74% | +25.25% | +56.88% | +49.01% | -11.14% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 7.97pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.59pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
