Fund Description

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks, of emerging market companies (the “80% Policy”). The Fund invests in the securities of companies that the Adviser believes have been undervalued in the market relative to their ability to generate strong cash flows and attractive returns on capital, which may include securities of small- or mid-capitalization companies. The Fund may also invest in securities of companies denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies, such as the Euro.
The Adviser considers emerging market companies to be those companies that are located in, or economically tied to, emerging market countries or that maintain securities that principally trade on exchanges located in emerging market countries. In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser primarily looks to the emerging market countries that comprise the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as the investable universe from which emerging market companies may be included in the Fund’s portfolio and are located in, or economically tied to, such emerging market countries or that maintain securities that principally trade on exchanges located in such emerging market countries. In limited circumstances, the Fund may also invest in other countries with similar characteristics to those included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. As of March 31, 2024, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index includes the following 24 emerging market countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.
The Adviser believes that the long-term investment opportunities in emerging markets are favorable compared to those available in more developed markets and that the opportunity for bottom-up managers with experience in undervalued situations will be significant due in part to the high rate of change in, and the volatility of, the emerging markets. While there are numerous risks in the emerging markets that are not equally prevalent in more developed markets, the Adviser’s goal is to manage the risks and seek to earn a more-than commensurate return for bearing such risks.
The Adviser uses proprietary, fundamental research to identify companies with solid businesses for investment that it believes have an intrinsic value that is higher than the company’s value as determined by its current stock price. When selecting individual companies for investment, the Adviser normally looks for:
•
Sound management
​
•
Quality business model
​
•
Positive cash flow generation
​
•
Strong market position
​
•
Industry growth potential
​
•
Sustainable advantages
​
•
Stock trading at a significant discount to intrinsic value
​
In constructing the overall portfolio of investments for the Fund, the Adviser actively considers the risk of loss that can occur as a result of unpredictable market events and seeks to construct a portfolio that is appropriately diversified across various countries and sectors. The Adviser also carefully monitors developments on both the company level and global macro level to seek to identify circumstances that could cause the risk in the portfolio to increase beyond desired levels. Furthermore, the Adviser considers a company’s sustainable competitive advantages, such as strong market position, industry growth potential, or positive cash flow generation across diversified geographies and industries. As described more fully below, the Adviser integrates environmental, social, and governance factors into its investment process and as part of its overall portfolio decision making process.
The Adviser may sell or reduce the Fund’s investment in a portfolio security if the Adviser detects a less appealing risk/reward profile for the company, price appreciation in the company’s stock resulting in overvaluation, deceleration of the company’s revenue or earnings growth, deterioration in the company’s business, or issues developing with company management.
The Fund may change the 80% Policy without shareholder approval. The Fund will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to the implementation of any such changes.
The Adviser strives to deliver superior investment results with risk under control while conducting its business with the highest integrity. The Adviser believes that Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations can directly and materially impact investment outcomes. As long-term investors, the Adviser believes a consistent focus on ESG throughout the investment lifecycle allows it to avoid undue risk and better identify valuable opportunities. In fact, the Adviser believes integrating ESG analysis into its investment process helps ensure that it is aligned with its clients, their beneficiaries and society’s collective long-term interests. At the same time, ESG fits squarely with the Adviser’s commitment to excellence in bottom-up investment analysis.
This approach is well-aligned with the Adviser’s investment philosophy, which guides the management of all investment strategies. The primacy of risk control is a key tenet of the Adviser’s investment philosophy. The Adviser’s investment processes are concentrated on gauging risk and avoiding the downside. Its ESG policy dovetails nicely with this goal, as it focuses on ESG integration and engagement is geared toward highlighting ESG-related risks that may materially impact investment outcomes.
