Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers located in, or with exposure to, emerging market countries. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Investment Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-related securities of emerging-market issuers or issuers with exposure to emerging market countries. The portfolio sub-advisor may consider, but is not limited to, the classifications by MSCI Inc., the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, or the United Nations and its agencies in determining whether a country is an emerging market country.
