Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, we invest:
at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in equity securities of foreign issuers;
up to 10% of the Fund’s total assets in emerging market equity securities; and
in securities of at least three different countries including the U.S.
The types of securities in which we normally invest include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). We consider equity securities of foreign issuers (or foreign securities) to be equity securities: (1) issued by companies with their principal place of business or principal office or both, as determined in our reasonable discretion, in a country other than the U.S.; or (2) issued by companies for which the principal securities trading market is a country other than the U.S. We may use futures or forward foreign currency contracts to manage risk or to enhance return.
We use bottom-up stock selection, based on fundamental research, that emphasizes companies with resilient characteristics as the cornerstone of our investment process. We emphasize businesses that possess robust asset bases that produce sustainable cash flow growth through a cycle, created by efficient capital allocation and, typically, exhibit a commitment to returning value to shareholders through dividends. We emphasize dividend and cash flow yield among other valuation metrics to assess market sentiment and pricing opportunity. While long-term investors, we seek to drive excess returns through exploiting valuation opportunities that arise while recognizing the premium quality of these businesses. We balance exposures between companies with growth characteristics, expressed through growing earnings and dividends, with companies that have value characteristics, expressed through higher dividend yields and usually lower dividend growth. This focus on cash flow and dividend discipline drives a less volatile outcome that delivers both income and growth over a full market cycle. We conduct ongoing review, research, and analysis of our portfolio holdings. We may sell a stock if it achieves our investment objective for the position, if a stock’s fundamentals or price change significantly, if we change our view of a country or sector, or if the stock no longer fits within the risk characteristics of the Fund’s portfolio.
