Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of dividend paying global equity securities. The Fund may seek to accomplish its objective by investing in securities of other mutual funds. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Investment Strategy

In managing the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio sub-advisors seek to identify undervalued companies that represent solid business franchises, and have strong management teams, strong balance sheets, disciplined capital allocation and attractive valuations. The portfolio sub-advisors employ an unconstrained, bottom-up stock selection process based on disciplined fundamental research with the aim to create a diversified portfolio of quality global equity securities of any market capitalization.
