Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of high quality equity or equity-related securities of issuers throughout the world. As part of this fund’s investment objective, the fund invests primarily in equities of companies that trade on recognized exchanges in countries around the world.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: uses a disciplined, fundamental bottom-up approach to security selection; invests in a highly concentrated portfolio of global equity securities; may invest up to 30% of the fund’s assets in securities of underlying funds, with such underlying funds expected to be predominantly or exclusively underlying funds that are managed by us or one of our affiliates or associates.
