Investment Objectives
Long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies around the world, and debt instruments issued by governments or companies of any country.
Investment Strategy
The sub-advisor employs fundamental analysis and follows a value investment style in selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio. Although the sub-advisor generally seeks to diversify the Fund’s investments across countries and sectors, the sub-advisor may, from time to time, concentrate the Fund’s investments in a particular country and/or sector. The Fund will generally invest at least 75% of its assets in equity securities.
