Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The investment objective of the WCM Focused International Growth Fund (the Fund) is long-term capital appreciation.
The fund uses a bottom-up approach to select large-capitalization non-U.S. equity securities, targeting companies with strong fundamentals, industry leadership, low debt, and attractive valuations across developed, emerging, and frontier markets. The manager evaluates political risk, monetary policy risk, and regulatory risk alongside traditional financial metrics. Because the fund's holdings depend on the manager's security selection, performance will diverge from any benchmark. The fund generally invests across at least three countries and regions, though it may concentrate significantly in particular countries or sectors at times.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +18.12% | +46.12% | +27.79% | 19.93% | -12.61% | |
| +17.82% | +45.04% | +26.20% | 19.90% | -12.68% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.59pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.32pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
