Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities of large-capitalization securities companies in emerging markets. Emerging markets include any country that is generally considered to be an emerging or developing country by MSCI. The Fund will focus its investments in those emerging market countries that the portfolio manager believes have strongly developing economies and in which the markets are becoming more sophisticated.

Investment Strategy

The investment approach follows a core investment style, looking for companies that are undervalued, of high quality and have good growth prospects. The sub-advisor uses a quantitative approach to stock selection, portfolio construction and transaction cost measurement. The sub-advisor employs fundamental ideas in a disciplined, risk-aware manner. While the Fund invests mainly in large cap emerging market stocks, the sub-advisor may also from time to time invest in frontier market stocks.
