Investment Objectives

The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers located anywhere in the world that are considered to be undervalued compared to their perceived worth.

Investment Strategy

In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the sub-advisor: may invest in companies of any size anywhere in the world, including those in emerging markets; may invest a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets in securities of issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region; uses a bottom-up investment approach.
