Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
Long-term capital growth.
The fund pursues a bottom-up, research-driven approach to select equity securities worldwide, including developing markets, focusing on quality companies with dominant market positions, competitive advantages, and solid balance sheets trading at valuation discounts. The fund invests across at least three countries and may hold small and mid-capitalization stocks alongside larger companies. Because the fund's returns depend on the investment manager's security selection and the manager may concentrate significantly in particular regions, countries, or sectors based on economic conditions, performance will diverge from broad market benchmarks.

| TEWTX | 1.80% | 1.80% |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +27.21% | +69.60% | +48.37% | 15.99% | -9.87% | |
| +26.29% | +65.87% | +42.85% | 15.93% | -10.02% | |
| +27.50% | +70.86% | +50.16% | 15.98% | -9.86% | |
| +27.59% | +71.12% | +50.61% | 15.94% | -9.80% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 7.76pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.55pp 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.
