Fund Description
div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small-capitalization issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund considers a small-capitalization issuer to be one that has a market capitalization no larger than the market capitalization of the largest capitalized issuer included in the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. An issuer’s “market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"The principal types of equity securities in which the Fund invests are /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"common and preferred stock. The Fund can also invest in depositary receipts, rights and warrants. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in warrants./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities in any country, /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"including countries located in emerging markets,/spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles, as well as in developed markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will provide exposure to investments that are economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest a percentage of its net assets in investments that are economically tied to countries other than the U.S. in an amount equal to at least the lesser of (a) 40%, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case, at least 30%, or (b) the percentage of foreign issuers represented in the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index minus 10%. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars or local foreign currencies./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in China A-shares /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"(shares of companies based in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange)./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"currency contracts.

The portfolio managers seek to achieve a balanced portfolio through the diversification of securities that are balanced between size, style and factor risk. The portfolio managers apply a bottom-up, fundamental research investment process comprised of bottom-up due diligence and value analysis. Stock selection is based on a rigorous analytical process that seeks to select the right company (a quality business with a sustainable financial framework, a competitive advantage and good governance), at the right time to buy (when the price is not reflective of the intrinsic value and there is potential for value creation over time), that is a right fit for the portfolio (attractive relative to existing holdings, conducive to maintaining the balance of the overall portfolio and/or reduces portfolio risk)./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"The portfolio management team will typically sell a security when a /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"more attractive opportunity has been identified that the portfolio managers believe provide a better fit for the portfolio or where the portfolio managers lose confidence in the fundamentals or valuation./spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt; text-align:left"span style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt; margin-left:15pt"In attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage /spanspan style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial Narrow; font-size:10pt"subscription and redemption requests, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities./span/div
