Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in equity securities of companies organized under the laws of, or with principal offices located in, a number of different countries outside of the U.S., including companies in countries in emerging markets. The Fund does not seek to focus its investments in a particular industry or country. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks, depositary receipts, rights and warrants to buy common stocks, privately placed securities, and initial public offerings (“IPOs”). The Fund may invest in real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including options, futures, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund typically uses derivatives to seek to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or currency risk, to substitute for taking a position in the underlying assets, for cash management, and/or to seek to enhance returns in the Fund.The Fund invests its assets in foreign investments which are denominated in U.S. dollars, major reserve currencies and currencies of other countries and can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. To attempt to protect against adverse changes in currency exchange rates, the Fund may, but will not necessarily, use special techniques such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts.The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and under the terms of applicable no-action relief or exemptive orders granted thereunder.The Investment Adviser allocates the Fund’s assets to different sub-advisers. When selecting sub-advisers, the Investment Adviser takes into account a wide variety of factors and considerations, including among other things the investment strategy of a potential sub-adviser, its personnel, and its fit with other sub-advisers to the Fund. Among those, the Investment Adviser will typically consider the extent to which a potential sub-adviser takes into account environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors as part of its investment process. ESG factors will be only one of many considerations in the Investment Adviser’s evaluation of any potential sub-adviser; the extent to which ESG factors will affect the Investment Adviser’s decision to retain a sub-adviser, if at all, will depend on the analysis and judgment of the Investment Adviser.Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (“BG Overseas”), Polaris Capital Management, LLC (“Polaris”), and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) provide day-to-day management of the Fund. The Sub-Advisers act independently of each other and use their own methodologies for selecting investments. The Investment Adviser will determine the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser.Each Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising.The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1∕3% of its total assets.BG OverseasBG Overseas’s investment style primarily uses a bottom-up, stock-driven approach, with the objective of selecting stocks that it believes can sustain an above-average growth rate, which is not reflected in the share price. A significant part of the assets will normally be divided among continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia (including Australia and New Zealand). Country allocation, however, is driven by stock selection. BG Overseas invests in companies that it believes are well-managed, quality businesses that enjoy sustainable, competitive advantages in their marketplace.Companies are screened for quality first; valuation is a secondary consideration. BG Overseas looks for companies that it believes have attractive industry backgrounds, strong competitive positions within those industries, high-quality earnings, and a positive approach toward shareholders. The main fundamental factors that BG Overseas considers in this bottom-up analysis include earnings growth, cash flow growth, profitability, capital structure, and valuation. Further to the Fund’s long-term investment approach, BG Overseas seeks to identify companies with the potential to grow sustainably. When assessing a company’s ability to deliver sustainable growth over the long term, BG Overseas considers a range of factors, including the ESG characteristics of a company.PolarisPolaris uses proprietary investment technology combined with Graham & Dodd style fundamental research to seek to identify potential investments that Polaris believes have significantly undervalued streams of sustainable cash flow. The firm uses traditional valuation measures, including price/book ratios and price/sustainable free cash flow ratios to screen its database of more than 40,000 companies worldwide. Polaris uses these measures to identify approximately 500 companies that Polaris believes have the greatest potential for undervalued streams of sustainable free cash flow. As a cross check to the database screen, a global valuation model is used that seeks to identify the most undervalued countries based on corporate earnings, yield, inflation, interest rates, and other variables. Allocations among investments are primarily determined by bottom-up security analysis while providing diversification in terms of country, industry, and market capitalization. Polaris monitors portfolio companies as well as a “watch list” comprised of companies which may be purchased if the valuation of an existing portfolio company falls below established limits.Wellington ManagementWellington Management conducts fundamental research on individual companies to identify securities for purchase or sale. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures and indicators of value, including the evaluation of financially material ESG factors based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes assessing financially material ESG factors as part of its investment process allows it to better evaluate a company on its ability to improve or sustain its future returns over time. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG factors, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management may not assess ESG factors for every stock prior to investment. Wellington Management seeks to invest in companies with underappreciated assets, improving and/or sustainable return on capital, and/or stocks that it believes are mispriced by the market due to short-term issues. This proprietary research takes into account each company’s long-term history as well as Wellington Management’s analysts’ forward-looking estimates, and allows for a comparison of the intrinsic value of stocks on a global basis focusing on return on invested capital in conjunction with other valuation metrics. Portfolio construction is driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection, with region, country, and sector weightings being secondary factors.
