Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities of issuers in emerging markets while following a sustainable investment approach.

Investment Strategy

Generally, at least 90% of the Fund’s net assets will consist of equity securities of issuers located or operating in countries considered to be developing or emerging by: the authorities of those countries, the United Nations, or any of the following index providers: S&P Dow Jones, MSCI or Russell. The sub-advisor considers frontier markets to be a subset of developing markets and any investments in frontier markets will be counted toward the aforementioned 90% threshold.
